Quantum 160 EQ Protein Skimmer (up to 125 Gallons) - NYOS Aquatics

Elevate your reef aquarium with the NYOS QUANTUM EQ, the smart protein skimmer that combines extreme performance with intelligent app control. Wirelessly connect via the Mobius or Apex Fusion app to unlock preset modes, smart safety features, and precise, energy-efficient control for a healthier, more stable marine environment.

Meet the next evolution in protein skimming: the NYOS QUANTUM EQ Series. This high-performance skimmer integrates cutting-edge technology with the proven efficiency of the NYOS QUANTUM® line, now enhanced with smart connectivity. Take complete control of your aquarium's nutrient export easily and wirelessly directly from your iOS or Android smartphone.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Intelligent App Control: Connects seamlessly to the Mobius App, sharing the same intuitive interface as your Ecotech Marine and Aquaillumination devices. It is also fully compatible with the Neptune Systems Apex Fusion app via the MXM Mobius Wireless Control Module.

• Preset Operational Modes: Simplify your skimming with intuitive presets available in the Mobius app:

  • Performance Mode: Sets the pump to 70% power, allowing for easy fine-tuning to match your system's needs.

  • Plankton Saving Mode: Automatically reduces skimmer performance at night, protecting valuable natural plankton that are most active in the dark.

  • Nutrient Export Reduction Mode: Permanently lowers skimmer performance if your nutrient levels (like nitrate and phosphate) become too low, preventing "bottoming out."

• Customizable Scenes: Integrate the QUANTUM EQ into your existing Mobius™ scenes. Automatically reduce the pump speed during feeding or water changes and have it ramp back up to your preset level afterward without any manual intervention.

• Smart Safety Features: The skimmer intelligently protects itself. If the pump intake is blocked (e.g., by a snail), it will automatically shut down, allow water to flow out to dislodge the blockage, and attempt to restart. If the restart fails, the pump shuts down safely, an internal LED flashes red, and you receive a notification via the app.

• Innovative LED Color Code: A built-in RGB LED (patent pending) provides an at-a-glance visual indication of the pump's current speed. It also doubles as a convenient flashlight for maintenance work inside your cabinet.

• Fully Adjustable Performance: Fine-tune your skimmer's performance with stepless pump speed control from 1% to 100%. You can even set custom daily schedules in the app to vary pump speeds throughout the day.

• Energy-Efficient 24V Pump: Equipped with a high-quality, energy-saving 24V low-voltage pump made in Europe. This intelligent control system consumes up to 20% less power while delivering 10% more power compared to the non-controllable QUANTUM® pump models.
