Nearly Half the size of a Reef Devil or Euro Reef Skimmer Will fit where others can't.
New Downdraft II Design Performs like its turbocharged Will outperform skimmers twice its size.
Designed with a very small footprint of only 4x7" and no valve or stand pipe needed.
It has a base box height of 12" and will work submerged in up to 11" of water.

The Downdraft tower design has been extensively modified to create a higher water processing rate, through changes in the injection nozzle design.

We adjusted the downdraft tower design to allow full skimming tower action all the way to its base. The bio-ball action has been changed in the tower and this design only uses three to six bio-balls to produce intensive foaming action. These changes to the downdraft action are known as Downdraft II design.

One of the biggest space robbers for in sump skimmer's is the water outlet control. Currently Skimmers use either a gate valves or stand pipes to adjust the internal water level in the skimmer. They can almost double the footprint of the unit in your sump, taking up valuable space or worse not even fitting in.

Our answer was to create a new way of being able to adjust your skimmer. This is done with our exclusive Pat. Pending sliding gate for the outlet. Adding only 3/8" in width to the skimmer. Adjustment is simple and precise, by loosening the friction screw and moving the sliding gate either up or down to adjust your foaming action and then tightening the set screw.

Due to its exceptional waste collecting ability we have included our all acrylic drainable cup that can drain into a remote container and is compatible with Compact Waste Collector.

Sump Buddy 40 Specifications:
- Size: 4"W x 7"L x 24"H
- Tank Size: up to 180 gallons
- Recommended Pump Size: 700-900 gph
- Exclusive sliding gate to adjust foaming quality
- Space saving, narrow side profile of the Sump Buddy 40 only a 4" width

5 out of 5 stars Great Skimmer
by Philip D. from Orlando, FL on 4/29/2008
Recommends it to Friends: Yes
This is the first skimmer I have owned that actually does what it claims. I had it dialed in within 24 hrs. and its been producing a beautiful dark tea colored skimmate since then. Incredibly easy to use, and you are not tied to any "special" pump. The skimmer I received had a chipped collection cup. Albert at Aquacave and Gary at A.E. Tech. got a new one out to me immediately. A GREAT experience A++
