当我们意识到一个无名的礁石英雄坐在我们眼前，我们的礁石英雄之一就在我们的眼前。此外，它已经有10年的时间了。这就是为什么我们认为这太好了。
曲线3.5Bubble Magus的蛋白质撇渣器是一种低价的紧凑型交流撇渣器，旨在坐在污水池中，并在最多300升的礁石系统上运行。在ATB和Vertex之后，Bubble Magus是中国采用锥形丙烯酸尸体并用摘下红色和白色的撇渣器的前跑者之一，并将泵放在撇渣器身体下方以节省空间。
This meant that when we got our hands on one ten years ago it was small enough to sit inside the sump for an 18” cube tank and because of its compact size, we’ve also used it in 24”, 36” and even 60”, 500 liter/132 gallon systems and it always skimmed well, in a huge variety of situations, load, and water depth. It’s short too at just under 18” tall, meaning that back then it could also be accessed inside a short cabinet.
It’s powered by an 8W Rock SP 1000 AC pump with needle wheel impellor and has just one point of adjustment – a good old rotating standpipe whereby you turn it one way and water rises up the neck, and turn it the other, and the water level decreases. Simple, and when we talk about dialing-in skimmers these days and maybe taking a few days and several points of adjustment to get it right, this skimmer was simply set and forget, and it’s been running so sweetly ever since.
With everything we know about protein skimming, it’s all about creating as many bubbles as possible, as small as possible, and holding on to them inside the skimmer’s body for as long as possible to form the best skimmate. That’s why some manufacturersstill stick to an external pump injecting the air/water mix进入高大的撇油体底部，以取得最佳效果。
Look inside the C3.5 however and the air isn’t even released until two-thirds up the skimmer body, and the reaction area is only 4” high. The pump only takes in a maximum of 300lph/79gph of air and everything about this diminutive model should say low performance. But it’s brilliant, and right now it’s skimming as thick and as dark as it ever has, and that’s with it running downstream of a Clarisea Gen 3 Roller Filter.
与任何人谈论泡泡魔匠撇渣器，大多数人会说泵死了。我们在零售时代出售了BM替换泵，但是这又从未错过任何节拍，它在没有我们维护的情况下进行了大约一年，而在那个时候，撇渣器的内部变成了狂热蠕虫的生态系统，而Mysids则在围绕着Mysids充电。锥体。我们从未取代泵或叶轮。
10年以来，没有很多不良的蛋白质撇渣器，而且略大。我们有信心现在至少使用了75％尽管添加直流水泵,程序控制,cup cleaners, and float switches, pound for pound, the BM C3.5 is still one of the best in its size category and when you factor in its low retail price of sub £115/$140, and its 10-year longevity, it’s the best small, low cost, sump-based protein skimmer we’ve ever used. And it’s still going strong.
