The Deltec MCE600 (FREE DELIVERY) Multi Compact External Hang on Protein Skimmer is the ultimate hang on skimmer and since its introduction at the end of 2003 has taken the market by storm. Its new design gives it the flexibility to hang on the side of almost any brand of aquarium, or for it to be used inside or hanging on the outside of a sump. There is a chamber built into the skimmer where media such as RowaPhos or carbon can be used in a sock or bag, and there is even an optional media box available. The performance is as you would expect from any Deltec skimmer, drawing in 300lts of air per hour for maximum waste removal. The Deltec philosophy is that for every 1000 Litres of water in the aquarium that you require 400 - 500 Litres of air per hour to achieve efficient skimming. This makes the MC E600 skimmer suitable for 700 Litres (155 gallons) for a normally stocked reef aquarium or 450 Litres (100 gallons) for a heavily stocked fish only system. From our laboratory tests we have found that the Deltec MC E600 Multi Compact External Hang on Protein Skimmer produces at least 2 - 4 times the air volume used on most competitors' skimmers which are claimed to be suitable for comparable water volumes.
