QQ1 – cascade skimmer

The Bubble Magus QQ1 is a cascade skimmer for hobbyists who want a filter unit that is quick to service. Its wall mount on the tank wall makes it easier to reach the collection cup and the pump when they need cleaning.

Why it matters

• Ceramic-shaft pump with needle impeller: the pump uses a ceramic shaft and a needle impeller, a design the manufacturer otherwise reserves for its larger skimmers.
• Wall mounting: mounting on the tank wall gives access to the 180 ml cup and the pump, which simplifies routine cleaning and pump maintenance.
• Adjustable foaming: a knob on the housing sets foam output, so intensity can be tuned without dismantling the unit.
• Compact footprint: at 145 × 110 × 265 mm and 1.8 kg, the unit is relatively small for its class.
