Description
The IceCap K1-Neo is an ultra-compact protein skimmer designed for marine aquariums between 5 and 15 gallons. Built from PVC and high-quality acrylic, it is sized specifically for nano all-in-one systems with rear overflow compartments. The skimmer mounts directly to the glass or acrylic via a thumbscrew and requires no separate mounting hardware. At its core is the DCair-200 DC pinwheel pump, which draws 100 lph of air and operates quietly with a pipeless outflow design. With a footprint of just 2.6 by 2 inches, it is one of the more practical options for tight-compartment installations.

The IceCap K1-Neo addresses a real gap in the skimmer market: reliable foam fractionation in a form factor small enough for nano all-in-one tanks. Rated for systems between 5 and 15 gallons depending on bioload, it fits directly into rear overflow chambers where space is at a premium. The body measures 1.98 inches in diameter with a total height of 9.8 inches, and the 2.6 by 2 inch footprint means it can occupy a compartment that most skimmers simply cannot.

Construction uses marine-safe PVC and high-quality acrylic throughout. The skimmer mounts to the side of glass or acrylic using a thumbscrew, eliminating the need for additional brackets or tools. This makes installation and removal straightforward for routine maintenance — a practical consideration in confined sump or overflow chambers where access is limited.

The DCair-200 DC pinwheel pump sits at the heart of the K1-Neo, consuming 5 watts while drawing 100 lph of air and 26 gph of water. The pipeless output design routes exiting water through the side of the skimmer body and below the water surface, reducing splash and noise compared to conventional output configurations. This also eliminates a common point of clogging found in traditional outlet pipe designs.

Bioload matching is a key consideration when sizing this skimmer. Under heavy bioload conditions it is best suited to tanks around 5 gallons; medium bioload systems can push that to 10 gallons; and lightly stocked tanks up to 15 gallons fall within its rated range. The K1-Neo is backed by a one-year limited warranty through CoralVue, covering defects in materials and workmanship from the original purchase date.
