The new ATB Deluxe line is trickling in to the United States featuring TCT –triple cone technology and DBP– a double bubble plate. A few lucky customers have picked up these new designs in external configurations. Shown below is the Deluxe 8.5 External powered by an ATB Mini Airstar. The sicce motorblock is not intended to run externally, however a new ATB Airstar pump powered by the laguna 1500 motor block has been created for the Deluxe line that would like power the Deluxe 8.5 outside of the sump.

Here’s the official literature from ATB on their new deluxe series of skimmers, (additional photos below):
ATB, known to the world for its revolutionary cone skimmer technology, brings protein skimming to the next level with the Deluxe series. Each Deluxe skimmer is the culmination of years of R&D to achieve the optimal balance of air, water and turbulence reduction. As you expect from ATB, the Deluxe series features the finest precision craftsmanship from the highest quality materials.
Every Deluxe skimmer comes equipped with Triple Cone Technology (TCT)–Three cones in each skimmer to create a constant stable foam, while eliminating turbulence and guiding bubbles for maximum protein to air contact time. Incorporated into the inner most TCT element is the newly designed and oversized Double Bubble Plate (DBP) for additional turbulence reduction.
Additional Features:
- Ozone Port
- Auto Shut Off Switch
- Built-in Skimmate Drain
- Complete Disassembly for easy maintenance
- Powered by the eco-friendly and silent ATB AIRSTAR skimmer pump
Here are the first seen photos of an ATB Deluxe Internal–an 10.5 Internal powered by an Air Star 1500. The full range of Deluxe skimmers will be coming in late July / early August. For pricing information contact ATB USA.
And lastly for fun… the monstrous ATB Deluxe 18.
