MANTIS Tornado 150 — Protein skimming for your marine system
The Tornado 150 pairs a Tornado 2000 pump with a listed air intake of 700 L/h and 20 W power consumption. MANTIS lists this model for 500–800 L systems, approximately 132–211 US gallons.
François Neo’s recommendation
I recommend sizing a skimmer around the fish load, feeding routine and available sump space. The largest volume on a rating is not a promise for a heavily fed reef. Share your setup so we can review the right fit before you order.
