High-performance external protein skimming with efficient air processing and precise adjustment.

Improve organic waste removal in your marine aquarium with the Deltec TC Series External Protein Skimmer. Designed for demanding reef systems, the TC range combines Deltec's specialised Twin Chamber technology with an efficient bubble plate design to support effective foam production, compact installation and low power consumption.

The patented Twin Chamber design helps pressurise the pump for improved performance and directs unskimmed water through the pump, reducing unnecessary reprocessing of water already inside the reaction chamber. The bubble plate helps reduce turbulence within the skimmer, supporting more effective foam formation and helping prevent collected waste from returning to the aquarium water.

With precise outflow adjustment, a removable pump for convenient maintenance and a collection cup with an external drain connection, the Deltec TC Series provides a practical solution for marine aquariums requiring dependable protein skimming.
