ATI Powercone蛋白质skimme很有趣r which has been a long time coming. First announced way way back inJuly 2010，今年看到了此功能丰富的蛋白质撇油器的首次交付。尽管并非所有原始的铃铛和哨子都在生产模型中充分推出，但对于ATI的PowerCone蛋白脱脂器仍然有很多值得爱的东西。
When it was first revealed, ATI’s Powercone had three stand out features; it was the first skimmer body with the upside-down “wine glass” design which is a slight deviation from the now-ubiquitous cone skimmer body. The other two innovations of the Powercone are the controllableACpump and most notably, the use of the innovative “Gridwheel”仍然是ATI独家。
When we got our first look at ATI’s innovation of the needle wheel impeller we were skeptical that this fine matrix of a gridwheel would surely become quickly clogged with reef aquarium debris. However having run our review Powercone unit for over three months and having serviced the impeller twice (out of curiosity, not necessity) we’ve yet to find a single piece of tubeworm or shell lodged inside.
这很棒，因为网格轮和基于伊甸园的可调泵会产生令人难以置信的气泡云，因此很难辨别它们。能够调整动力酮的进料泵的输出是一种奖励，但是如果气流量计，ATI超级撇渣器的袖子上的真正王牌。气流量计更像是空气压力meter but whether or not is it truly accurate is not even a concern. Measuring air pressure is easy and we’ve found the air measuring device to be one of the homerun features of the ATI Powercone.
安装和调整蛋白质撇渣器的最大挑战之一是发现整个组件尽可能多的空气（撇渣器可以处理）的最佳点。使用任何撇渣器，您可以调节蛋白质撇渣器外的水位高度，蛋白质撇油器内部的高度和抽水。使用PowerCone的可调节泵，您还可以调整进料泵的输出并使用气流计，很容易找到所有这些因素的最佳位置，以从PowerCone中获得最大的性能。现在那是进步，我们希望每个撇渣器都会随之而来。
As much as we’re smitten with the ATI Powercone, it isn’t all bubblegum and rainbows. For one. the automatic self adjustment of the air meter and feed pump has not yet been implemented to end users, although the feature is still promised for the future. The aggressive pricing of the Powercone I series at ~$680 and $730 for the two models doesn’t come without some compromises. The acrylic-made height adjustment valve is not the smoothest, the neck flange is just barely enough to hold the cup and the material of the body is generally thin throughout. Don’t expect MRC or Royal Exclusiv level of craftsmanship but all an in-sump skimmer like this needs to do is hold water.
最后，对ATI PowerCone的唯一其他真正的关注是，这不是我们为初学者或第一次撇渣器所有者，当然不是我们的父母推荐的模型。ATI PowerCone系列的高级功能集更适合经验丰富，先进的礁石和海洋水族馆业余爱好者。ATI PowerCone的特征，性能和价值的交集使其成为最高300加仑的礁石和储藏量较低的海洋水族馆的值得考虑的考虑因素。随着这些警告的范围，ATI PowerCone今天在市场上为美元提供了一些蛋白质最多的蛋白质，我们认为我们将在很长一段时间内继续使用250 i。
