Maxspect Jump Protein Skimmer SK2200 G2
Powerful Reef Skimming. Smarter Control. Remarkably Quiet.
Give your reef aquarium the nutrient export it deserves with the Maxspect Jump Protein Skimmer SK2200 G2. Designed for modern reef systems, the Gen 2 Jump skimmer combines Maxspect's patented dual needle-wheel technology, DC flow control, optimized air-to-water mixing, and intelligent overflow protection into a compact, easy-to-maintain protein skimmer.
Whether you're building a new reef aquarium or upgrading an existing filtration system, the SK2200 G2 delivers efficient foam fractionation without turning your sump into a noisy environment.
At WWC, we especially like the combination of controllability, quiet operation, and straightforward maintenance—three things that make a big difference when your protein skimmer is running 24/7.
Why Choose the Maxspect Jump SK2200 G2?
Near-Silent DC Performance
The SK2200 G2 uses sine-wave technology to produce smoother pump operation and reduce the harsh vibration associated with traditional pump designs. The result is a quieter, more refined skimming experience that works especially well in living spaces, offices, and display-focused reef systems.
Dual Needle-Wheel Technology
Maxspect's patented dual needle-wheel design is engineered to efficiently mix air and water while producing a dense population of fine bubbles.
The Gen 2 reaction chamber further optimizes the air-to-water ratio, helping create finer, denser microbubbles for efficient organic waste removal.
Precise DC Flow Control
Fine-tune your skimmer instead of simply turning it on and hoping for the best.
The SK2200's DC-powered pump gives you adjustable flow control, while the precision front dial and adjustable water inlet allow you to dial in the internal water level and foam production for your particular aquarium.
Intelligent Overflow Protection
One of the standout features of the SK2200 G2 is its intelligent overflow protection.
If the sensor detects an overflow condition, the controller automatically reduces the pump to its lowest speed rather than completely shutting the skimmer down. This helps maintain oxygenation while minimizing sudden changes to your system.
Once the collection cup has been emptied and the sensor confirms normal operation, the controller automatically returns the pump to its previous operating speed.
Feed Mode & Start Delay
The smart controller includes convenient functions designed for everyday reef maintenance, including Feed Mode and Start Delay.
These features make routine feeding and maintenance easier while helping prevent unnecessary skimmer overflow or erratic operation after startup.
Quick-Release Maintenance
Protein skimmers need regular cleaning to perform at their best. The SK2200 G2 was designed with that reality in mind.
Its quick-release mechanism makes disassembly faster and easier, while the removable silencer and accessible components simplify routine cleaning and maintenance.
Less time fighting with your equipment means more time enjoying your reef.
Perfect for Reef Aquariums
The Maxspect Jump SK2200 G2 can be used with reef aquariums containing corals, invertebrates, anemones, and fish, as well as fish-only systems.
Maxspect rates the SK2200 according to aquarium bioload:
| Aquarium Bioload | Recommended Maximum |
|---|---|
| High Bioload | Up to 69 gallons |
| Medium Bioload | Up to 120 gallons |
| Low Bioload | Up to 171 gallons |
WWC Tip: When choosing a protein skimmer, consider your actual livestock load—not just the advertised maximum aquarium volume. A heavily stocked reef will benefit from choosing a skimmer based on the high-bioload rating rather than the maximum low-bioload rating.
