Maxspect Aeraqua Duo AD600 Skimmer

Maxspect Aeraqua Duo AD600 – The World’s First Dual-Intake, Dual-Needle Wheel Skimmer

The Maxspect Aeraqua Duo AD600 redefines protein skimming with cutting-edge innovation and precision engineering. Designed for aquariums up to 300 gallons, it is the world’s first skimmer to feature dual intakes and a patented dual-needle wheel design, delivering superior performance in a compact footprint.
