The Compact 6 protein skimmer from Grey Seas Aquatics is a surprising balancing act of quality and value, performance and ease of servcing. The Compact 6 protein skimmer does all this while still delivering an American made product with an Italian engine and at the eye catching price of $249! First of all, the skimmer is made with American parts for the body, valves and fittings. The GSA Compact 6 comes with all necessary fittings to run the pump either inside the skimmer to reduce it’s footprint or outside the skimmer body to increase accessibility to the pump. The Italian born Sicce PSK 2500 uses a mesh needle wheel to pull 900 liters of air per hour while only using 25 watts. The GSA Compact 6 comes with a diffuser plate and a completely accessible body. The white trim of this skimmer definitely conveys a modern appearance and the gate valve should make for very easy fine tuning of the water height. A $249 skimmer for a 200 gallon tank is an unbeatable deal right now, even if that really means the skimmer is adequate for a 200 gallon fish aquarium or an average 125-150 gallon reef tank. The exciting GSA Compact 6 protein skimmer is shipping for free for a limited time. Follow the break for Tech Specs and a closer look at the GSA Compact 6 in both configurations.
