Unlike ordinary protein skimmers, the AquaC skimmer uses the Spray Injection System. This patented system enables your protein sifter to draw more air without using downdraft tubes, venture, and air pumps. Supported by a ground-breaking reaction chamber, the spray injection system can blow away the wastes from your aquarium water. This product is encased inside a high-quality reaction chamber that can blast the litter from your tank water. The AquaC EV-120 Protein Skimmer's spray injection system enables the skimmer to perform faster, and it creates less turbulence than ordinary protein skimmers. Despite the slump from the required pump pressure, this system can produce more, er, and finer bubbles that effectively wash out debris. It performs excellently even under low pump pressures, which is very surprising for low-cost sifters. The AquaC Protein Skimmer looks simple in its compact design. Nevertheless, this protein skimmer can handle large volumes of water and quickly eliminates organic wastes and pollutants. ## Features - Flexible design for in-sump or external applications - The new EV Series skimmers are designed to run in sumps WITHOUT BEING RAISED.

My tank has never looked better ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by K***T on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on May 14, 2015* Easy to install and make adjustments. Working great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ EV works great after you find the right pump *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on February 2, 2014* Unlike my review of the AquaC Remora this series skimmer is still relevant in 2014. The E series skimmers are big, bulky nearly bulletproof units that well produce great skim if they are paired with the correct pump. That is the critical link tho.I ran this unit for a few years with a Rio 2100 (as recommended) which was rated at a flow of 692mph and it was set up at one got head. The other pump these come with is a Mag 5 which has a flow rate of 500mph. It's my personal opinion that both of these recommended pumps are still underpowered for the EV120. I base that off the fact that we run these skimmers (180/240 models) at the shop on big systems but with higher flow pumps and they work great.I was ready to upgrade the pump again...had originally ran the Mag 5, then to the Rio 2100...but yet another $75 pump upgrade with no guarantee made me gun shy despite knowing how great these skimmers work when paired with a good, high flow pump. I decided to try the new AquaMaxx C01 cone model instead...as long as I was gambling and so far it's working better. I still think the EV120 is probably a superior skimmer to nearly every cone skimmer currently on the market, but I suspect it really had to be paired with the Rio 3100 or Mag 9.5 to shine...which will mean throttling back a bit, more watts and more heat.The EV is easy to clean on a weekly basis, but if you have to pull the entire unit out for a deeper cleaning its a bear due to its sheet size. It does work nicely as an external unit option...again if you don't have the in sump space but have it externally next to our behind tank then it can be configured to run with just the pump in the sump...again, you need to run a higher flow than AquaC recommend to compensate for head.I'm holding on to my unit because it still has value if I can pick up the bigger pump used one day. Just sucks that I've had to chase down the right pump since its so expensive to begin with. It does work nicely tho when it's right...I can't say that enough. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/19535293-aquac-ev-120-protein-skimmer](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/19535293-aquac-ev-120-protein-skimmer) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
