Modern Design and FunctionalityThe IceCap K1 100 is a remarkably compact skimmer that offers a new level of refined filtration for marine aquariums ranging from 40 to 80 gallons. All aspects of the skimmer were implemented to surpass many challenges other skimmers on the market miss out. Compact & Built to Last Master crafted from robust PVC and high-quality acrylic. All components are marine safe and refined in every aspect to provide the latest enhancements in foam fractionation and the highest in quality. The elegant “Beer Bottle" curve of the skimmer body naturally stabilizes the air and water mix as they transition upward within the reaction chamber. An impressively compact footprint makes it the ideal candidate for tight sump applications. Every aspect of the skimmer disassembles entirely for secure service. Quiet Performance & Control At the Core of the IceCap K1, you will find the IceCap EVair 400 skimmer pump built to be highly durable and packing a ton of efficient performance. It's comfortable to grip and twist-Locking access to the pinwheel for secure service. The pipeless output offers fine-tuning and trouble-free underwater outflow plus quiet operation. Our pipeless design not only saves on space but also allows the outgoing water to exit on the side of the skimmer and below the water surface, providing splash-free circulation in the sump. Located much lower in the reaction chamber, the unique bubble dispersing chamber offers a multi-stage diffusion of water, additional contact time for enhanced foam stability. Bioload Handling The bioload of an aquarium refers to its ability to process waste in proportion to tank volume. Protein skimmers perform best when the aquarium's bioload matches the bioload rating suggested by the skimmer manufacturer.  (EXCLUDING SUMP) HeavyMediumLight40 gal60 gal80 galK1-100 Features Impressive Performance - Remarkably Small FootprintDistinctive Turbulence Reducing BodySolid PVC & Acrylic ConstructionBubble Dispersant ChamberNovel Pipeless Output ValveEfficient & Quiet OperationDisassembles Completely for Easy Cleaning & MaintenanceIn-Sump Installation OnlyK1-100 Technical Specs Skimmer Body: 4inFootprint: 4.5in x 7.5inTotal Height: 19inCup Drain Size: 8mm ID / 12mm OD Recommended SumpWater Height: 6 - 8inPump Information EVair Pinwheel PumpPower Consumption: 8wattsAir Draw: 400lph / 14scfh*Water Draw: ~100gph*Air and water results will vary depending on aquarium setup Warranty One(1) year warranty on pump and Skimmer bodyIceCap can not be responsible for consequential damages arising from the installation or use of this product.

Initial Care Instructions

Once your coral arrives, float the sealed bag in your aquarium for 15–20 minutes to equalize temperature. Then, begin a drip acclimation process or slowly add small amounts of tank water to the bag every 5 minutes over 30–45 minutes.

2. Inspect and Dip:

Before placing the coral in your tank, inspect it for pests or hitchhikers. We strongly recommend using a coral dip solution to remove potential parasites or algae. Follow the dip instructions carefully and rinse with clean saltwater before introducing to your display.

3. Placement:

Start the coral in a low to moderate light and flow area to help reduce stress. Over the next week, gradually move it to its ideal lighting and flow conditions based on species needs.

4. Monitor Water Parameters:

Ensure stable water parameters (alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, etc.) and maintain good tank flow. Watch closely for signs of stress or tissue recession and adjust placement if necessary.

5. Patience Pays Off:

Corals often take a few days to fully open up after shipping. Give them time to adjust—avoid sudden lighting changes or overhandling during this period.
