The RS Alpha Series “In-Sump” protein skimmers are the latest addition to the peerless line of Euro-Reef products. Identical in construction and performance to the world famous CS Series, the RS Alpha Series has established a new benchmark for Quality, Performance, and Value all in one unit and Cutomer Service to go with it!
All RS Series skimmers are fabricated utilizing a unique “hot air welding technique” where 3/8” thick PVC sheet is mechanically bonded with the highest quality cell cast acrylic tube material. This core construction technique in combination with custom designed CNC and mold injected acrylic and PVC parts yields an incredibly durable product designed to perform and last for many years. The attention to detail is poured into each of these handmade skimmers is only equaled by the pride of each of the skilled craftsmen that assemble them.

NO NEEDLE WHEELS HERE - SIZE DOES MATTER!!
The newly designed Euro-Wheel™ Pin-Wheel impeller is the heart of the Euro-Reef protein skimmer. Instead of weakly chopping the small amount of air pulled in by a needle wheel, our Pin-Wheel impeller literally shreds the huge amount air inducted by our Euro-Air™ Venturis into the smallest bubbles produced by any commercially available skimmer in the world!! These micro-sized bubbles provide an incredible surface area for organic attraction and make Euro-Reef skimmers the organic extraction MONSTERS of the marine aquarium hobby!!
“Pump up the Volume” with less juice!!
Each model comes with a perfectly matched pump that supplies the skimmers reaction chamber with a balanced flow of air and water insuring the best possible performance. The power consumption of these pumps is extremely low because of the reduction in resistance/ drag on the motor when using the Euro-Wheel™ Pin-Wheel impeller. The pumps also run very quietly, enhancing the “seen but not heard” profile in your filtration system.
Complete Control
In addition to the newly matched pumps and Euro-Wheel™ Pin-Wheel impellers, all Euro-Reef skimmers come with an airline control valve that allows you to control the amount of air the pump pulls in versus the amount of water it pushes through. This feature is critical when you need exact control of the skimmers performance.
High quality SCH80 PVC valves and custom SCH40 parts allow the foam adjustment/ outlet assembly to provide optimal flexibility when dialing in wet or dry foam. This makes it easier than ever to dial in the type of skimmate you want to produce! In addition, the new outlet assembly comes with a 90º elbow so you can adjust the direction of the return water flow anywhere you want.
Got Skimmate?
The extra large collection cup is easier to remove than any other skimmer on the market as ALL* Euro-Reef Skimmers are fitted with our new patent pending Euro-Loc™ quick disconnect union. This union allows for a “Zero” height clearance requirement for removal of the cup for service. No more bayonets, or endless spinning of traditional PVC unions (does anyone still make those silly thumb screw/ key slot disconnects??). Simply unlock with a 1/4 counter clockwise turn and slide off!!
*RC1000.4 and larger skimmers still utilize Bayonet Version 2 disconnect fittings
The bottom line…
All of these features converge to make the Euro-Reef protein skimmers one of the most sought after products in the marine aquarium hobby, not only because of the Quality they offer or the Performance they provide, but because of the Value they represent. Those ideals when combined with first class Service makes the decision easy. When the time comes to invest in a protein skimmer…
