The highly anticipated ATB Multi Use Cone skimmer has landed in the United States and is now shipping. This model comes with the necessary plumbing parts to run as a normal insump single pass design, or as a hang on the back design–with the pump placed outside of the tank. These skimmers are powered by an Eheim 1250 Pinwheel for 330lph of air intake, which is injected into the seamless molded cone body.

This is the first conical hang on the back skimmer, and sure to be a hit with the sub sub 100g crowd. Combine this with a new Vortech MP10 and it would make for one killer ‘nano’ reef.

    I would say a HEAVILY STOCKED 50g is about the minimum for this skimmer. When I designed the original (the specs are still the same overall, with some 'logistical' changes made to simplify manufacture)If there is interest, I also made a design for an even smaller version, only about 100-120 lph (good for 20-30g). 3" base diameter, 12" height. The problem that the cost doesnt go down proportional to capacity (if you do a cost comparison of the smaller to larger models, you will see the $$$/lph ratings make the largest models the best bang for the buck). There are certain cost constants that dont change, like the labor to actually build the cone and piece it together, customer service, etc. So you are talking hundreds just for a Nano skimmer.

    hmm, tank looks extremely familiar :)
  • its nice to see some decent skimmers coming out for smaller tanks.
  • @ Ed, I would agree, but it really depends on the bio-load and footd input. For modestly stocked tanks 60g would be near ideal with just shy of 400lph and a cone body.

    @ L, LMK how it goes.

    i have one in the mail for going in about 35 ro so gallons, so well seehow it does on smaller volumes. i did get it with an upgrade in mind but well see :) !
  • Ed
    Accordnig to Victor, he recommends an approximated MINIMUM of 60g's of net water volume.

    I inquired about this skimmer for a buddy w/ an Elos System Mini. Vic did not recommend using this skimmer for most, if not all, nano tanks.

    I would love to see what someone would stock a nano with that had that awesome of a skimmer combined with the mp10!!
