GENERATION II Vertex Skimmers
Among the many progresses in Marine Aquaria hobby in the recent years, the use of protein skimmers was, by far, one of the greatest milestones in maintaining salt water aquarium animals. Organic compounds, being bipolar in nature, provide an opportunity for waste extraction via injection of air into the skimmer body which served the dual function of extraction of these compounds while aerating the water. Since their inception, there has been much advancement in the design and functionality of Protein Skimming. Vertex™ IN-Series Skimmers utilize those technologies in the most effective way, while offering you the best value for your investment.

Superior Performance
Powerful motor pumps drive precision Needle Wheel Rotors to introduce large amounts of air and water into the skimmer body. This is done without compromising continuous delivery and velocity due to the turbulence reducing bubble plate chamber. The result is a consistent foam head and nutrient extraction.

Silent
Featuring the all inclusive Silent Air Orbi t (SAO) technology, Vertex™ IN-Series Skimmers represent the Ultimate solution to noise reduction. Rotors engineered with the incredible strength of Rare Earth Phosphor Magnets and the frictionless ride of Zirconium shafts, polished to an exceptionally high gloss, ensure that the entire impeller assembly spins with amazingly nominal resistance and vibration.

Easy
Removal of the collection cup has never been as easy and effortless. The messy union locks and twist caps used by other competing products have been replaced by an insert cup seated atop a gasket seal; minimalism simplifying your routine.

Plug and Play
Every Vertex™ IN-Series Skimmers is packaged ready-in-box for immediate use in your system.

5 out of 5 stars I love these.
by BWilly from Seattle on 12/18/2009
Recommends it to Friends: Yes
This is my second Vertex skimmer and I am definitely sold on these. I had the IN180 first on my 180 gallon and it was awesome. Real quiet, pulled great gunk, and very simple to use and adjust. I down sized tanks so I sold it and got the IN80 for my 60 gal. After about a week of break in its now producing great skimmate and is as quiet as the IN180. Ive had quite a few skimmers and these are easily the best bang for the buck. The construction is solid and simple. Highly recommended!

4 out of 5 stars Not too bad.

Recommends it to Friends: Yes
At first i thought it was junk. Kept overflowing. the manufacturer said it was something in the water so after a couple big water changes I'm getting some nasty stuff and emptying the cup every 2 days. Give it 4 stars because it isn't all that Silent. That's all I hear about Resun pumps anyway.
