Description of the system
The water is flowing from the aquarium via an overflow chamber or another overflow device into
the prefilter filled with activated carbon, phosphate or other absorbent filter materials. If there is a
blockage or the flow rate is too high, excessive water flows laterally through an overflow. The
skimmer’s venturi pump sucks the water in out of a chamber with a constant water level. From the
clear chamber, the water is sucked in by the circulation pump and pumped back into the aquarium.
