IceCap - K1 Nano Protein Skimmer
Overview
The IceCap K1-Nano is a compact, in-sump protein skimmer designed for reef aquariums up to 30 gallons. Its small footprint and quiet operation make it a top-tier solution for nano tanks with limited space. Built from durable PVC and acrylic, the K1-Nano offers advanced foam fractionation performance while remaining easy to clean and service.
The magnet mount secures the skimmer in place on glass or acrylic up to ½" thick, while the pipeless output design allows for seamless fine-tuning and a splash-free outflow below the waterline—ideal for quiet operation in tight compartments.
