当公司的目标是,让预算友好或value conscious brand they often have to make a lot of compromises to get the total cost down in the final product but this trend doesn’t seem to apply to Maxspect’s Jump equipment including pump, lights, and especially the Jump protein skimmers. Nearly all foam fractionatorshave enjoyed steady improvements over the last three decades and although Maxspect has only been in the skimmer game for a few years, they’ve made some major refinements to their unique dual impeller powered protein skimmers.
Maxspect的开幕式Salvo与广受欢迎Aeraqua Duo，一个完全露出的撇渣器，每一个铃铛和吹口哨都可以（除脖子清洁器除外），然后在跳跃品牌下，他们以较小的预算友好型模型跟随了它2020年初的SK-400。正如我们怀疑Maxspect努力设计的更大版本的跳跃者，称为SK-800，于去年晚些时候首次揭示了我们与早些时候进行了完整的动手这个一年，但是现在该进行完整的评论和视频了。
As we discussed in our first impressions the Jump SK-800 skimmer is nearly identical in every way to the SK-400 except for the size, and the orientation of the dual inlets for the needle wheel pump. While the SK-400 has the inlets located at the corners of the square base, the SK-800 has them directly on the sides which means that you’ll need a little more clearance than the actual footprint of the skimmer to allow for water to be drawn inside.
两种模型的高度几乎相同，并且在较大模型中只有一英寸的差异，尽管SK-800撇油体内的反应体积可能是SK-400的两倍。日常水产师永远不会真正注意到的一个小细节是，在SK-800中，棘轮机制已经用较厚，更大的牙齿加强，但是您可能永远不会注意到每天使用的差异。
跳跃SK-800的核心是Maxspect Turbine Duo的45瓦针头版本，它通过使用二级针环将空气水混合物进一步切碎到那种有助于创造的优质泡沫中，从而得到了增强脱脂蛋白的非常稳定的溢出。从泵到空气进气口的整个设备都非常静默，您几乎必须寻找升高的水位和气泡，以确认泵正在运行，并且在上面的视频中我们会详细介绍。
It might sound a bit unusual to describe our experience with the Jump SK-800 as ‘unremarkable’ but we simply put the skimmer in the sump, turned it up to 100% and just let the creamy foam do its job and have emptied the cup once a week. With a suggested retail price of around $650 the new larger Jump skimmer is setting the bar for larger models of value protein skimmers intended for marine and reef tanks of 120 to 250 gallons (depending on bioload) and we hope to see these models reaching American shores in late Spring or early Summer.
