K1-100 Protein Skimmer - IceCap

The IceCap K1-100 is a compact, in-sump protein skimmer built for marine aquariums from 40 to 80 gallons. If you need a nano protein skimmer that fits a tight sump, this IceCap protein skimmer pairs a 4.5" x 7.5" footprint with the IceCap EVair 400 pinwheel pump and a pipeless output for quiet, splash-free operation.

Why Choose the IceCap K1-100?

• Small footprint: a 4.5" x 7.5" base that suits tight sump applications
• Turbulence-reducing body: the "beer bottle" curve naturally stabilizes the air and water mix as it rises through the reaction chamber
• Solid PVC and acrylic construction with marine-safe components
• Bubble dispersing chamber for multi-stage diffusion and added contact time
• Pipeless output valve for fine-tuning and trouble-free underwater outflow
• Efficient, quiet operation on just 8 watts
• Disassembles completely for easy cleaning and maintenance
• In-sump installation only

Quiet Performance With the EVair 400 Pump

At the core of the IceCap K1 is the IceCap EVair 400 skimmer pump, built for durability and efficient performance. It is comfortable to grip and has twist-locking access to the pinwheel for secure service.

The pipeless design saves space and lets outgoing water exit on the side of the skimmer, below the water surface, for splash-free circulation in your sump. Low in the reaction chamber, the bubble dispersing chamber diffuses water in multiple stages, adding contact time for enhanced foam stability.

Bioload refers to your aquarium's ability to process waste in proportion to tank volume. Protein skimmers perform best when your aquarium's bioload matches the manufacturer's rating. IceCap rates the K1-100 as follows (display volume, excluding sump):
