Description
Bubble Magus Curve 5 Elite Protein Skimmer with Sicce SK-200 — Pro-Grade Skimming, Built for Sumps Up to 130 Gallons
The Curve 5 Elite pairs Bubble Magus' proven needle-wheel skimming body with the legendary Sicce SK-200 pump — the same pump reliability reef keepers trust for quiet, consistent, low-maintenance operation. It's a compact, space-saving internal skimmer engineered for sumps and cabinets where every inch counts, and it's a standard in our own systems here at World Wide Corals.
