The AquaReady ConeS Q-2 In-Sump Protein Skimmer delivers powerful filtration with a space-efficient footprint, perfect for larger saltwater tanks with limited sump space. Designed for maximum performance, its hybrid-cone body and custom-engineered bubble chamber allow precise skimming and reduced turbulence, capturing organic waste to keep your water crystal clear.

High-Performance Pump

Powered by AquaReady’s modified Italian-made Sicce ‘Shark’ pump, the Q-2 skimmer uses proprietary needle-wheel impellers to generate the ideal bubble size for efficient protein extraction. This advanced pump design draws in more air, creating optimal conditions for skimmate removal, so you spend less time on maintenance.

Thoughtful, User-Friendly Design

AquaReady skimmers are crafted with durability and ease of use in mind. The Q-2 features a built-in air intake silencer for near-silent operation, and the hybrid-cone body maximizes the reaction chamber capacity for steady skimmate flow. Rubber feet further reduce noise and vibration, making it ideal for quiet sump setups.

Simple Setup and Maintenance

The AquaReady ConeS Q-2 is designed for easy operation and upkeep. Its collection cup features a handle for hassle-free removal and cleaning, while the compact outlet design minimizes sump height requirements and allows for fine adjustments. Constructed from premium cell-cast acrylic, this skimmer is built to last.
