Skimmer performance depends on getting the air-to-water ratio right for your specific bioload, and a fixed-speed pump only gives you one setting to work with. The Sicce PSK SDC line brings WiFi app control to skimmer pumps, with the 1200 and 2600 covering small through medium-large skimmers.
Why App-Controlled Skimmer Pumps
Dialing in a skimmer's air-to-water ratio for wet, dry, or in-between skimmate output usually means physically adjusting a valve or gate at the pump. An app-controlled pump lets you fine-tune and monitor that setting remotely, and adjust as bioload changes over time.
Choosing a Size
- PSK SDC 1200 — 50–320 GPH — a WiFi-controllable protein skimmer pump giving app-based flow adjustment on a mid-size skimmer pump body.
- PSK SDC 2600 — 132–687 GPH — steps up flow from the 1200, a WiFi-controllable pump for medium to large skimmers.
For the largest skimmers, we've also covered the PSK SDC 4000 in a separate guide.
Setup Tips
- Start at a moderate setting and adjust based on observed foam quality rather than maxing out immediately.
- Use the app to track changes over time as your tank's bioload shifts.
- Match capacity to your skimmer's rated specifications before choosing between the 1200 and 2600.
