Aquael SAS Surface Skimmer 500 (upto 500Ltrs)

The Aquael SAS 500 Surface Skimmer is a compact and efficient aquarium surface skimmer designed to remove biofilm, oily residue, and floating debris from the water surface. Suitable for aquariums ranging from 20 to 500 litres, it operates at up to 500 L/H while consuming only approximately 4.4W of power. By clearing the surface layer, it improves oxygen exchange and enhances light penetration — both essential for healthy planted aquarium setups and stable freshwater systems. Its slim, submersible design makes it ideal for rimless aquariums, nano tanks, and modern aquascaping layouts where clean surface aesthetics are important.
