MANTIS Tornado 300 — Protein skimming for larger marine systems
The Tornado 300 combines a Tornado 6000 pump with a listed air intake of 2,500 L/h and 70 W power consumption. The manufacturer lists it for 2,000–3,000 L systems, approximately 528–793 US gallons.
François Neo’s recommendation
I recommend choosing a skimmer around the actual feeding routine and fish load, with enough room to service it comfortably. A maximum tank rating is not a guarantee for a heavily fed system. Contact us to review your aquarium before selecting this model.
