The Nyos range of protein skimmers are solidly built with many key features. The Nyos 120 Protein Skimmer is rated for tanks up to 500 litres. The unit is not silent (no skimmers are) but is quieter than most other skimmers we have tried and still manages to be much more efficient. It has a small footprint of only 16 x 16cm and a total height of 47 cm.
The power consumption is a miserly 8w and the pump is a modified German unit so good quality and reliability.
Adjustment is smooth, and all threads are above water so will remain that way. the skimmer cup has a professional bayonet fitting so removal and reattachment can be done with one hand in a smooth motion. This stops spillage compared to many other skimmers that have just push fit with recessed o rings. the skimmer cup lid has a deflector so in the event of over skimming there is less likelihood of a big mess.
Abyss give this Skimmer a 9 out of 10 score it would be 10 apart from the way the silencer mounts. There is no big problem here, but it is easy to knock loose. Just as easy to put back though.
Nyos 120 Protein Skimmer from Nyos a German firm based in Stuttgart. A beautiful historic city but also some of the best engineering companies in the world reside here. Porch, Bosh, Mercedes to name but a few. The Nyos 120 finds itself in a market of hundreds of skimmers from many, many companies. At a glance a lot of them look alike how on Earth do you choose? Most people take the web to read myriads of reviews as well as multitudes of opinions. Only to end up buying the best marketed and most influenced products.
Choosing Is actually easy.
The best way to make a choice that’s important and costly is to actually see it in the flesh. The Nyos 120, beautifully crafted from the best materials with much thought going into the design. As soon as you see a Quantum 120 Protein Skimmer up close you will agree that it is perfectly formed. Some of that Stuttgart heritage is at work here . Crystal clear acrylic no ripples or distortions unlike many that could be mentioned, speaks of the pride its built with. The Quantum has been with us since 2014 but has never had the heavy marketing of some of its rivals. Being from a relatively small company it has had to earn its own fan base via its own merits.
What’s Good about the Nyos 120 Protein Skimmer
Well we have talked about the quality now what are its features? The heart of any skimmer is the pump but so many have an off the shelf cheap Chinese job, not the Nyos 120 Protein Skimmer. Designed and built in house with the requirement’s for the skimmer firmly in mind. Bayonet fitting for the cup no cheap o rings here anyone who has thrown the skimmate all over will understand this. Titanium screws that will not snap during maintenance.

Extreme performance. Very smooth operation. Low power consumption. Easy to maintain.
NYOS® QUANTUM®: THE IMPRESSIVE OUTCOME
Four things are characteristic for the NYOS® Quantum® skimmer:
FIRST: EXTREME PERFORMANCE
Performance, performance and once again performance. NYOS® Quantum® is characterised by high skimming performance as a result of the large amount of air in combination with and optimum air-water mixture.
SECOND: VERY SMOOTH OPERATION
Aquariums should be seen and not heard. That is NYOS® Quantum® is especially silent when running and therefore can hardly be heard.
THIRD: LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
NYOS® Quantum® is conceived to be especially energy efficient and uses a minimum of power, despite its huge performance.
FOURTH: EASY TO MAINTAIN
Consistently strong skimming and simple settings are a joy. For this reason, NYOS® Quantum® is especially easy to maintain and provides the same consistent level of performance over a long period of time. Reliable pump starts are a matter of course.
NYOS® QUANTUM®: THE INNOVATIVE INPUT
These are the innovative features of the NYOS® Quantum® skimmer:
1. The new NYOS® Hybrid Wheel
The heart of every skimmer is its propulsion. That is why we have developed a new high-performance drive for the Quantum®: the Hybrid Wheel. This especially precisely manufactured impeller, built with superlight materials, combines the advantages of a needle wheel and a lattice wheel. The Hybrid Wheel is characterised by its lattice-shaped base, on which numerous very narrow needles are mounted. This structure ensures that countless extremely fine micro air bubbles are generated. The greatly reduced weight and the high precision lead to lower maintenance and at the same time low energy consumption.
2. NYOS® Clear-View Reactor
The hybrid wheel needs a pump chamber that is specially adapted to it. That is why we have developed the NYOS® Clear-View Reactor. The Clear-View Reactor is a transparent, performance-optimised large-volume reaction chamber in which the water-air mixture is generated. In combination with the hybrid wheel and the adapted venturi nozzle, it produces an extreme air performance with an optimum air-water ratio. Its transparency means that any foreign bodies can be identified easily. At the same time it is possible to see the huge performance of the pump in operation. Stylish and practical!
3. The NYOS® Twister
Extreme air performance and the finest bubbles are one thing. But in order to achieve optimum skimming, the bubbles that are generated must also remain in contact with the water for as long as possible. That is why, in addition to our normal bubble plate, we have developed the saw-blade shaped Twister. This gives the bubbles an additional spin and swirls them further in a vortex. This greatly increases the contact time of the air bubbles in the water column.
4. Combination of form and function: the Sinus design
Water doesn’t like corners. That is why we have developed a flow-optimised, protected double-S form. In this so-called Sinus design the air bubbles can rise without hindrance and completely free, ergonomically so to speak, without the formation of poor-flow zones at disruptive corners.
5. Precision and details
A good idea must be implemented perfectly to the very last detail. Each Quantum® is therefore characterised by the following:
1. Extremely non-breakable high-performance waves from zirconium dioxide (strength 1600 MPa Vickers hardness)
2. Nine sea-waterproof screws from pure titanium grade 2
3. Precise micro-adjustment screws to fine-tune the water level
4. Full decoupling by means of silicone feet
5. Skimming pot with twist-lock seal
6. Ready-to-use plug-and-play device
6. Optimised, variable setting options
Each aquarium is different. That is why NYOS® Quantum® can be adapted individually to all aquarium conditions: water quantity and air quantity can be set separately and independently of each other. An approximate setting of the water level is achieved by means of the water setting pipe, while the especially precise micro-adjustment screw, which is also included, allows an additional fine-tuning of the water level.
7. Compact construction yet can be dismantled completely
We represent compact, well thought-out solutions. NYOS® Quantum® deliberately does not use any externally mounted, bulky pumps. For us it is self-evident that the device must be able to be dismantled completely.

Failure to wait for livestock: Not waiting for livestock, even if there is a reasonable delay, or cancelling an order after it has been dispatched will lead to you incurring charges for an emergency return to the base. Additionally, any losses of livestock will also be charged to you. Please be aware that the items you are ordering are living creatures – livestock. We kindly ask that you refrain from ordering livestock if you are unable to accommodate the possibility of a delayed delivery.
These terms and conditions are a fundamental aspect of our policy. Our primary goal is to dissuade individuals who could react negatively to a delayed delivery and subsequently request order cancellations. It is of utmost importance to underscore that your order pertains to living creatures, not mere inanimate objects. In the event of an occasional delay, it is crucial that you respond in a rational and responsible manner, taking into account the welfare of the livestock. We kindly request that you refrain from placing an order for livestock if you tend to react strongly to such situations. By proceeding with the order of livestock, you indicate your acceptance and agreement to abide by these specified terms and conditions.
