Overview
The Nyos Quantum 220 is a heavy-duty in-sump protein skimmer engineered for medium-to-large reef systems with high bioloads. Its efficient needle-wheel foaming, quiet operation, and tool-less service pull out dissolved organics before they break down—keeping nutrients low and water crystal clear.
