The Aquael SAS 500 is a high-efficiency surface skimmer designed to remove dust, protein film, and floating plant debris from the water’s surface. By continuously cleaning the top layer, it restores light penetration, improves gas exchange, and enhances the visual clarity of the aquarium. Compact, quiet, and energy-saving, it’s ideal for tanks from 20 to 500 liters (5 – 130 gallons).
