Maintain cleaner, clearer aquarium water with the VEVOR RS-N170Plus+ DC Protein Skimmer. Designed exclusively for in-sump installation, this skimmer combines a controllable DC pinwheel pump with a large reaction chamber to generate dense, fine bubbles that help remove dissolved organic waste before it breaks down in the aquarium.

With 10 adjustable power levels, Feed Mode and a power-outage restart delay, the skimmer can be fine-tuned to accommodate different aquarium conditions and bioloads. Its integrated air silencer helps reduce operating noise, while the removable 1400 ml collection cup simplifies routine cleaning and maintenance.

Adjustable DC Performance

The included controller provides 10 power settings, allowing the pump output and bubble production to be adjusted according to the aquarium’s nutrient level and bioload.

Feed Mode temporarily pauses operation during feeding, while the restart delay helps prevent immediate overflowing when the skimmer restarts after a power interruption.

Efficient Waste Removal

The DC pinwheel pump draws air into the skimmer and creates a dense mixture of fine bubbles. Dissolved organic compounds attach to the bubbles and rise into the collection cup, helping remove waste before it contributes to elevated nutrient levels and declining water quality.

Quiet Operation

An integrated air silencer helps reduce the sound produced by the air intake. The skimmer operates at approximately 40 dB under normal conditions, although actual sound levels may vary depending on installation and surroundings.

Easy Maintenance

The removable 1400 ml collection cup provides ample waste capacity and can be detached for cleaning. The pump can also be disassembled to simplify routine maintenance and impeller cleaning.

Important Sizing Information

Protein skimmer capacity ratings are estimates. Actual performance requirements depend on livestock levels, feeding habits, nutrient load and the amount of waste produced by the aquarium.

For heavily stocked or heavily fed systems, selecting a skimmer rated above the aquarium’s actual volume is generally recommended.

Installation Notice

This protein skimmer is designed exclusively for installation inside an aquarium sump. It is not intended for hang-on-back or external installation.

Before ordering, confirm that your sump has sufficient space and operating water depth for proper installation. Maintaining a consistent sump water level will provide more stable skimmer performance.

Break-In Period

New protein skimmers may require a break-in period before producing stable foam. During this time, begin at a lower power setting and monitor the internal water level closely. Adjust the controller and water-level knob gradually to help prevent overflowing.
