Convenient and Function Design

The IceCap K3 250 HOB Protein Skimmer is a compact hang-on-back protein skimmer designed for aquariums with a capacity of up to 250 gallons. Its traditional cylindrical body shape minimizes turbulence, ensuring optimal performance. Additionally, the pump is mounted externally, reducing heat exchange with the water.

Built to Last

The IceCap K3 HOB DC body is made from high-quality acrylic and features the new controllable and efficient DCAIR pinwheel pump. This pump creates an optimal mix of water and air, ensuring effective waste removal at the push of a button.

Bioload Handling

The bioload of an aquarium refers to its ability to process waste in proportion to tank volume. Protein skimmers perform best when the aquarium's bioload matches the bioload rating suggested by the skimmer manufacturer.
