The AquaC EV Series represents the pinnacle in skimmer performance and efficiency. We've designed these powerful sump skimmers to handle the most demanding applications, while remaining easy to use and maintain. Our patented spray injection system results in high water and air flow rates - perfect for heavily stocked tanks and high bioloads.

EV180
The EV-180 is our flagship skimmer, and one of the best-selling sump skimmers in the world today. Its roots go back to the original EV we released in 1999, and since then we have modified the design to increase its performance and ease of use. Today, the EV-180 represents the core principles of our entire product line: performance, quality, and value. Tank rating is 75 to 180 gallons.
