Nyos Quantum 160 Protein Skimmer

The NYOS Quantum 160 is an efficient and silent high performance skimmer for tanks up to 1000 litres. Innovative Features:

1 The new NYOS Hybrid Wheel - The heart of every skimmer is its propulsion. That is why we have developed a new high-performance drive for the Quantum: the Hybrid Wheel. This especially precisely manufactured impeller, built with superlight materials, combines the advantages of a needle wheel and a lattice wheel. The Hybrid Wheel is characterised by its lattice-shaped base, on which numerous very narrow needles are mounted. This structure ensures that countless extremely fine micro air bubbles are generated. The greatly reduced weight and the high precision lead to lower maintenance and at the same time low energy consumption.

2 NYOS Clear-View Reactor - The hybrid wheel needs a pump chamber that is specially adapted to it. That is why we have developed the NYOS® Clear-View Reactor. The Clear-View Reactor is a transparent, performance-optimised large-volume reaction chamber in which the water-air mixture is generated. In combination with the hybrid wheel and the adapted venturi nozzle, it produces an extreme air performance with an optimum air-water ratio. Its transparency means that any foreign bodies can be identified easily. At the same time it is possible to see the huge performance of the pump in operation. Stylish and practical!

3 The NYOS Twister - Extreme air performance and the finest bubbles are one thing. But in order to achieve optimum skimming, the bubbles that are generated must also remain in contact with the water for as long as possible. That is why, in addition to our normal bubble plate, we have developed the saw-blade shaped Twister. This gives the bubbles an additional spin and swirls them further in a vortex. This greatly increases the contact time of the air bubbles in the water column.

4 Combination of form and function: the Sinus design - A good idea must be implemented perfectly to the very last detail. Each Quantum is therefore characterised by the following: 1. Extremely non-breakable high-performance waves from zirconium dioxide (strength 1600 MPa Vickers hardness) 2. Nine sea-waterproof screws from pure titanium grade 2 3. Precise micro-adjustment screws to fine-tune the water level 4. Full decoupling by means of silicone feet 5 Skimming pot with twist-lock seal 6. Ready-to-use plug-and-play device

6 Optimised, variable setting options - Each aquarium is different. That is why NYOS Quantum can be adapted individually to all aquarium conditions: water quantity and air quantity can be set separately and independently of each other. An approximate setting of the water level is achieved by means of the water setting pipe, while the especially precise micro-adjustment screw, which is also included, allows an additional fine-tuning of the water level.

7 Compact construction yet can be dismantled completely - We represent compact, well thought-out solutions. NYOS Quantum deliberately does not use any externally mounted, bulky pumps. For us it is self-evident that the device must be able to be dismantled completely. Four things are characteristic for the NYOS Quantum skimmer: First Extreme performance - Performance, performance and once again performance. NYOS® Quantum is characterised by high skimming performance as a result of the large amount of air in combination with and optimum air-water mixture. Second Very smooth operation - Aquariums should be seen and not heard. That is NYOS Quantum is especially silent when running and therefore can hardly be heard. Third Low power consumption - NYOS Quantum is conceived to be especially energy efficient and uses a minimum of power, despite its huge performance. Fourth Easy to maintain - Consistently strong skimming and simple settings are a joy. For this reason, NYOS Quantum is especially easy to maintain and provides the same consistent level of performance over a long period of time. Reliable pump starts are a matter of course.
