The Aquael SAS 500 Skimmer is a practical and versatile surface filter, designed for aquariums from 20 to 500 liters. It effectively removes the greasy film , plant debris and impurities that form on the surface of the water. Thanks to its adjustable float , it adapts to variations in water level without requiring constant adjustment. Its flow rate of 500 L/h and its low consumption of 4.4 W make it a device that is both efficient and economical. It is also designed to protect shrimp and small fish, which remain safe thanks to its pre-filtration foam. Easy to install and very discreet, the SAS 500 ensures a crystalline appearance of the surface and contributes to better oxygenation in the tank.
Clear surface : eliminates waste, greasy film and organic residues
Energy saving : only 4.4 W for filtration up to 500 L
Everything you need to know about the Aquael SAS 500 Skimmer
Always impeccable surface water
The SAS 500 focuses on the most visible and sometimes most problematic part of an aquarium: the surface. By sucking up impurities through its float, it rids the water of the greasy film , dust and any other debris that could spoil the view. Installing this skimmer eliminates the need for cumbersome tricks such as using a paper towel or a conventional filter that is too powerful.
Adjustable and energy-efficient flow rate
With a reduced consumption of 4.4 W , the Skimmer SAS 500 does not increase the electricity bill. Its flow rate of 500 L/h is also adjustable , which allows it to be used without problem in a 20 L nano-aquarium or in a larger tank of up to 500 L. It thus adapts to the specific needs of each aquarist, whether it is to maintain a planted decor or a very populated community aquarium.
A reassuring filter for small inhabitants
Shrimp, fry and other small fish can sometimes end up sucked into a filter that is too powerful. The SAS 500 solves this problem thanks to its pre-filtration sponge located just under the float. Even if a small occupant were to venture too close, it would remain safe, and it would then be enough to tilt the filter to release it without the slightest danger.
Simple installation and minimal maintenance
Attached by suction cup inside the tank, the SAS 500 Skimmer is installed quickly and easily. Its self-adjusting float follows the water level, which avoids having to adjust the height of the skimmer after each maintenance. On the maintenance side, simply rinse or change the foam from time to time to maintain maximum efficiency. This clever design ensures well-aerated, clear and debris-free surface water.
Ideal for many situations
In addition to its role as a surface cleaner, the SAS 500 can be very useful after pruning plants : it quickly collects floating fragments before they disperse in the tank. In open aquariums , it limits the accumulation of dust on the surface, improving both water quality and overall aesthetics. Finally, in a heavily populated tank , this skimmer considerably relieves the main filtration by vacuuming up residues that stagnate on the surface.
