There is a built-in separator, where media such as RowaPhos or carbon can be used in a sock or bag and there's even an optional media box available.

Performance is as you would expect from any Deltec skimmer, drawing in air 300lts per hour for maximum waste removal.

Philosophy Deltec is that for every 1000 LTR water tank that you need 400-500 LTR air per hour to achieve skimming effective. This makes Skimmer MCE600 suitable for 875 LTR (192 gallons UK) for a reef aquarium normally stored, or LTR 563 (uk 124 gallons) for a heavily stocked fish only system.

From the testing that we conducted, we found that DELTEC skimmers produce at least 2-4 times the volume of air used on most competitors skimmers which are claimed to be suitable for comparable water volumes.
