Nyos Quantum 160 Protein Skimmer
Overview
The Nyos Quantum 160 Protein Skimmer is a premium high-performance protein skimmer for marine and reef aquariums up to 1,000 litres or 250 gallons. Built with the Quantum 3.0 pump, Hybrid Wheel impeller, Clear-View Reactor, Twister bubble plate, and Nyos' flow-optimized Sinus body design, the Quantum 160 is engineered for strong nutrient export, quiet operation, low power consumption, and long-term serviceability. It is a popular size for serious reef systems where efficient skimming, stable adjustment, and compact sump fitment are all important.
