The Maxspect Aeraqua Duo AD600 is a next-generation protein skimmer for marine aquariums, widely recognized for its patented dual needle wheel design and extremely quiet operation.
Main Technical Specifications
- Aquarium Capacity: Supports from 400 liters for high bio-load up to 2,100 liters for low bio-load.
- Power Consumption: 40W.
- Air and Water Flow: Features an air intake of 1,500 L/H and a water flow rate of 2,400 L/H.
- Dimensions: Measures 260 x 210 mm at the base with a height of 565 mm, offering a compact footprint due to its pipeless design.
- Recommended Sump Water Level: Performs optimally between 18 and 24 cm of water depth.
Innovations and Key Features
- Dual Needle Wheel: Employs a system where one needle wheel rotates while the second remains fixed. This mechanism generates finer micro-bubbles, which drastically increases skimming efficiency.
- Dual Intake and Output Pump: Allows the flow to be configured in multiple ways, such as fully open to draw water from the sump or in a closed internal recirculation mode to match the specific biological load.
- Anti-Overflow Sensor: The collection cup lid includes a built-in sensor that automatically shuts off the pump if the cup fills up, preventing dirty waste from overflowing back into the aquarium.
- Integrated Connectivity: It is fully compatible with the Maxspect ecosystem. When paired with the ICV6 controller, users can monitor operation, schedule settings, and activate feeding modes directly via a smartphone app
