Quantum 300 EQ Protein Skimmer
The NYOS Quantum 300 Protein Skimmer handles large-scale reef installations up to 4000 liters (1000 gal). Engineered for heavy bioloads, it maintains water clarity and nutrient control in professional systems.
What Does EQ Add To The Equation?
Control the QUANTUM® EQ protein skimmer via your iOS or Android smartphone. Features of the QUANTUM® EQ include:
- Control via Mobius™ and Apex Fusion App : The QUANTUM® EQ can be controlled via the Mobius™ App, sharing the same user interface as your Ecotech Marine® and Aquaillumination® pumps and LED lighting. You can also integrate the QUANTUM® EQ in the Apex Fusion app from Neptune Systems® using the MXM Mobius™ Wireless Control Module. Both apps are available from the App Store and Google Play.
-
Preset templates: To make operation as simple and intuitive as possible, Mobius ™ includes several preset modes:
- Performance Mode: The performance of the skimmer pump is set to 70% and you can make the fine adjustment yourself.
- Plankton Saving Mode: The skimmer performance is reduced at night so that natural plankton, which is mainly active at night, is protected.
- Nutrient Export Reduction Mode: If the aquarium has too low nutrient levels, the Nutrient Export Reduction Mode permanently reduces the performance of the skimmer.
- Individual scenes: You can integrate the QUANTUM® EQ into scenes in Mobius™ so that it reduces the pump speed during a water change or feeding, for example, and then increases it back to the preset speed level.
- Smart safety features: If a snail shell blocks the intake, the pump shuts down, allowing water to flow out of the skimmer and removing the snail shell. If the pump cannot be restarted, it shuts down automatically, the RGB LED in the skimmer flashes red, and a notification appears in the app.
- LED color code in the skimmer indicates pump speed: An RGB LED in the skimmer indicates the pump speed via a color code and can also be used as a flashlight for maintenance work in the cabinet (patent pending).
- Steplessly adjustable: The pump speed of the QUANTUM® EQ can be adjusted from 1 to 100%. Different pump speeds can be set throughout the day in the app (Schedules).
- Energy-saving 24V pumps: The QUANTUM® EQ uses energy-saving low-voltage pumps made in Europe. Thanks to the intelligent control system, the pump consumes up to 20% less power and is 10% more powerful compared to the non-controllable QUANTUM® pump.
