NYOS Quantum 160 Protein Skimmer

The NYOS® Quantum® 160 is an efficient and silent high performance skimmer for tanks up to 500 litres.

NYOS® Quantum® - Built to perform

Extreme performance. Very smooth operation. Low power consumption. Easy to maintain.

NYOS® Quantum®: The impressive outcome

Four things are characteristic for the NYOS® Quantum® skimmer:

First: Extreme performance

Performance, performance and once again performance. NYOS® Quantum® is characterised by high skimming performance as a result of the large amount of air in combination with and optimum air-water mixture.

Second: Very smooth operation

Aquariums should be seen and not heard. That is NYOS® Quantum® is especially silent when running and therefore can hardly be heard.

Third: Low power consumption

NYOS® Quantum® is conceived to be especially energy efficient and uses a minimum of power, despite its huge performance.

Fourth: Easy to maintain

Consistently strong skimming and simple settings are a joy. For this reason, NYOS® Quantum® is especially easy to maintain and provides the same consistent level of performance over a long period of time. Reliable pump starts are a matter of course.

The NYOS® Quantum® 160 is an efficient and silent high performance skimmer for tanks up to 265 gal.

The new NYOS® Hybrid Wheel

The heart of every skimmer is its propulsion. That is why we have developed a new high-performance drive for the Quantum®: the Hybrid Wheel. This especially precisely manufactured impeller, built with superlight materials, combines the advantages of a needle wheel and a lattice wheel. The Hybrid Wheel is characterised by its lattice-shaped base, on which numerous very narrow needles are mounted. This structure ensures that countless extremely fine micro air bubbles are generated. The greatly reduced weight and the high precision lead to lower maintenance and at the same time low energy consumption.

NYOS® Clear-View Reactor

The hybrid wheel needs a pump chamber that is specially adapted to it. That is why we have developed the NYOS® Clear-View Reactor. The Clear-View Reactor is a transparent, performance-optimised large-volume reaction chamber in which the water-air mixture is generated. In combination with the hybrid wheel and the adapted venturi nozzle, it produces an extreme air performance with an optimum air-water ratio. Its transparency means that any foreign bodies can be identified easily. At the same time it is possible to see the huge performance of the pump in operation. Stylish and practical!

The NYOS® Twister

Extreme air performance and the finest bubbles are one thing. But in order to achieve optimum skimming, the bubbles that are generated must also remain in contact with the water for as long as possible. That is why, in addition to our normal bubble plate, we have developed the saw-blade shaped Twister. This gives the bubbles an additional spin and swirls them further in a vortex. This greatly increases the contact time of the air bubbles in the water column.

Combination of form and function: the Sinus design

Water doesn’t like corners. That is why we have developed a flow-optimised, protected double-S form. In this so-called Sinus design the air bubbles can rise without hindrance and completely free, ergonomically so to speak, without the formation of poor-flow zones at disruptive corners.

Precision and details

A good idea must be implemented perfectly to the very last detail. Each Quantum® is therefore characterised by the following: 1. Extremely non-breakable high-performance waves from zirconium dioxide (strength 1600 MPa Vickers hardness) 2. Nine sea-waterproof screws from pure titanium grade 2 3. Precise micro-adjustment screws to fine-tune the water level 4. Full decoupling by means of silicone feet 5. Skimming pot with twist-lock seal 6. Ready-to-use plug-and-play device

Optimised, variable setting options

Each aquarium is different. That is why NYOS® Quantum® can be adapted individually to all aquarium conditions: water quantity and air quantity can be set separately and independently of each other. An approximate setting of the water level is achieved by means of the water setting pipe, while the especially precise micro-adjustment screw, which is also included, allows an additional fine-tuning of the water level.

Compact construction yet can be dismantled completely

We represent compact, well thought-out solutions. NYOS® Quantum® deliberately does not use any externally mounted, bulky pumps. For us it is self-evident that the device must be able to be dismantled completely.

A Great Skimmer!

Posted by Paul on Dec 16th 2022

Build quality is excellent with this unit and the skimmer is finally producing the dark dry skimmate my other skimmer couldn't

Exceptional Skimmer

Posted by Raymond on Dec 16th 2022

One of the best built skimmers I have seen in years. Within hours after setting up I had skimate. Acrylic is top notch. Pump is very high quality. Very easy to clean. Quiet with cabinet door closed.

Silent!

Posted by Chase on Dec 16th 2022

I purchased this skimmer to replace my Red Sea RSK 300 because it made too much noise. I plugged this thing in and it was instantly MUCH quieter than the Red Sea skimmer. It got even quieter after about 10 minutes. I had to focus to try and hear it. I just hooked it up today but it is amazingly quiet!

Perfection

Posted by Ryan on Jul 1st 2021

Worked perfectly straight out of the box. 0 issues with my 160, will definitely continue to use the nyos line for any future builds. pulls more skimmate than any other skimmer I've had before.

Top Notch Build Quality

Posted by khalid on Dec 28th 2018

Got this for the Red Sea Peninsula 650 that I am setting up and have to say the build quality on this is top notch compared to all the other skimmers I have owned over the years. I can't wait till the tank is fully up and running to see how well this performs. Here's a video of me putting it together which was super easy. https://youtu.be/uSmMv98P_jk

Happy right off the bat.

Posted by Josh on May 25th 2017

After a lot of research I picked this skimmer to upgrade my Reefer 350 with. I have only had it up and running about a week, but am very happy with it so far. It did take me a couple of days of messing around with before I had it running just right, but some of this could be on me. I just couldn't leave it alone during the first few days, and probably overreacted on some adjustments when it only needed time. Now it is bubbling and foaming in a way my old Curve7 never did. As I said, I have only had it running a week, and if things change I will write a new review.

Well worth the money

Posted by Michael on Jun 21st 2016

Well worth the money. Excellent Quality, and works great! I did have one small broken part right out of the box, but EcoTech Marine took care of me right away, with no questions asked.
