Description of ๐Ÿ”ด Red Sea Reefer 300 Protein Skimmer: Efficient Filtration Solution for Crystal Clear Water

The high-performance Red Sea Reefer 300 Protein Skimmer features a combination of a PSK pump with a proportionally sized venturi, bubble diffusor and reaction body that optimizes air-water contact time for steady waste removal. Designed with hobbyists needs in mind, the Reefer Skimmers are really quiet thanks to rubber connectors which dampen the vibrations as well as a robust air silencer. It features the FoamView window, built-in neck cleaner and extra-long valved waste tube. Aquarium Size Ratings: for SPS, 80 gallons; for Mixed Reef, 160 gallons; for fish-only, 240 gallons. Includes Sicce PSK 600 Pump. Ergonomic diffusion chamber evenly disperses the fine bubbles created by the PSK pump across the skimmer cone, without reducing air or water flow. Comes with built-in manual neck cleaner and drainage port with 1m valved hose. The footprint can either be 9.1" X 8.3" or 9.8" X 7.1" (the base is moveable). Recommended water height: 6-8".

Great product for aquarium pumps and filters

Glad I bought this skimmer. However, it didn't fit in my palette so I sent it back. Well packaged, assembly was easy. If I upgrade my pool I will definitely come back to buy this skimmer again.

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Quick Guide

You may need to raise the skimmer to prevent overflow.

Easy setup. The drain is a plus next to the window that needs at least a weekly cleaning (just turn it). Otherwise it is quiet and efficient. would recommend. I used 4 small cups of Tupperware for best skimming and lifting!

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Negative Gift

it takes about a month to start working properly

This skimmer is working fine now but in a few weeks it will be pulling so much water out of your tank you'll be wondering if you should send it back! It has a water level line on it and if you use that line to measure the water level, I promise it will fill a 5 gallon bucket of water in less than a day, so you'll need to top up with fresh salt water.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I'll write back later

It's noisy and doesn't work

It's really noisy like I love Red Sea products but this skimmer is rubbish. The noise is like a coffee grinder, tons of microbubbles all over the tray. Be careful not to leave it overnight it will overflow and spew tons of tiny water droplets from overflowing bubbles that will flood your floors. It's scary waking up from a flood from a faulty skimmer.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Piggy bank price

Big and loud. for aquarium pumps and filters

Pros: looks good. Big skimming capacity for money. Built-in drain hose and wiper saves a lot of trouble. Cons: noisy. I've been running it for several months, so it's not a break. The loudest in my living room. Big footprint. I can't fault them as I knew the measurements before buying but have yet to think about it. I guess that's all I don't like. Pretty short list. However, I would exchange it for Essence 130 if the return period had not expired.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

Works great on fish and aquatic animals

Due to a crack/leak in the housing I had to replace our old external octopus protein skimmer for our 210 gallon tank. I did a lot of research before deciding on the Red Sea Reefer 300 Protein Skimmer. This device is very easy to set up and use. It takes a few days to get skimmed, but after that it's mostly hands off. I placed the skimmer on an acrylic stand in the sump due to the depth of our sump. The lid with cup cleaning rod is a great addition and makes cleaning the device a lot easier. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
