Anniversary Model, Clear ETSS 1000 version
This foaming action is typical of all ETSS 600 and up models.

This is the top skimmer for experienced aquarists with large tanks.


Allowing total control over a large (300+gallons) aquarium's water quality.
Doing SPS corals and loads of fish with heavy food input. No problem, this skimmer can easily keep up with it.
Its flow rate can be controlled with the pump's outlet ball valve to accommodate the ideal organic level for your application.
Lowering the flow rate  increases the organic level in the aquarium. Increasing the flow rate decreases the organic levels in the aquarium. 
The total height of the oxygen reactor/mixer is what accounts for its phenomenal performance. While its size cannot be hidden under a stand its skimming performance more than makes up the any inconvenience. 
Experienced aquarists have learned, sometimes the hard way, that design compromises and lower performance that are the hallmarks for putting a large skimmer under the aquarium.
Tall skimmers always have the performance edge and of those this is the most powerful tool available.
