Our ISO 9001 quality system doesn’t guarantee infallibility, but it ensures that, when needed, we are always ready to take action—constantly improving through experience and direct feedback from our customers What is a protein skimmer? A protein skimmer is a mechanical filter that removes dissolved organic substances from the water in a marine aquarium, improving water quality and the health of the animals. It is essential in marine aquariums because by removing excess proteins before they decompose, it reduces the load on the biological filtration system and helps maintain the nitrogen cycle in balance. This helps ensure a healthy and stable environment with low levels of nitrates and phosphates. The Skimming Process It works through "foam fractionation," a process that uses air bubbles to separate and eliminate impurities such as proteins, oils, food residues, and metabolic waste from the seawater. A pump mixes water and air, creating microbubbles that rise up through the skimmer column, capturing impurities and forming a dense foam that collects at the top and is collected in a cup to be emptied periodically. The Right Size Choosing the right skimmer is crucial to ensure stability, efficiency, and longevity in your marine aquarium. Each tank has different needs, which is why our models are designed to fit various setups, volumes, and organic loads. Keep in mind that this table is just our recommendation, based on tests and years of experience. Ultimately, it is the expertise and judgment of the aquarium keeper that really makes the difference. The calculations are based on the metric system; gallon conversions are rounded. Don’t Overdo It While a skimmer that is too small can be compensated by more careful feeding management, a skimmer that is too large works out of balance and becomes inefficient. In fact, if the organic load is too low, the skimmer may excessively deplete the water, making it unsuitable for soft corals, or worse, it may operate "intermittently," alternating between skimming moments and phases where it produces only clear water. This unstable behavior often causes the skimmer to "go crazy," requiring continuous adjustments and fluctuating water levels

Since 1964, Instant Ocean is the most carefully formulated and manufactured sea salt in the world. An extensive biological and scientific program, particularly with the scientific community and in our hatchery – where we have reproduced millions of tropical sea fish – has enabled us to elaborate and refine a formula that fulfils the needs of captive marine organisms. Each ingredient used in the composition of Instant Ocean is carefully selected and tested. Each batch is analysed in order to guarantee that all important elements have been perfectly mixed. Each batch is also continuously monitored in laboratory aquatic systems containing delicate marine animals and plants, because live organisms are always the most sensitive indicators of quality. Exceptional solubility • Provides a clear solution in minutes. • Allows for immediate use. • Reaches and maintains proper pH quickly. Complete formula • Provides the ideal environment for the care of all marine organisms in the aquarium, including even the most sensitive species. • Contains every necessary major, minor, and trace elements. Uniform particle size • Guarantees consistency throughout. Mono-composant • Makes it easy to use. • Every batch is analysed to ensure the presence of important elements. • Raw material from the mine of the prehistoric german sea in Lorraine (France). • No pollution. • Green friendly extraction method.
