The MCE600 is now fitted with a full size pinwheel and generates 400 lts of air at the pump like the TS1250. Its design gives it the flexibility to hang on almost any brand of aquarium or for it to be used inside or hanging on the outside of a sump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a chamber built into the protein 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe performance is as you would expect from any Deltec protein skimmer, drawing in 300lts of air per hour for maximum waste removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Deltec philosophy is that for every 1000 Ltrs of water in the aquarium that you require 400 - 500 Ltrs of air per hour to achieve efficient skimming.
