The Bubble-Magus Curve 5 is a compact and efficient in-sump/internal protein skimmer designed for marine and reef aquariums. It uses a ROCK SP1000 needle-wheel pump with a venturi air intake to create fine micro-bubbles that attract and remove dissolved organic waste from aquarium water. Its curved, wine-glass-style body helps concentrate foam toward the collection cup for effective skimming.
