“I Love this Product!” – it also fits on any standard powerhead w/ Venturi valve for top surface skimming with or without a filter unit”. The ®SkimBob will also run in as little as (2″) of water depth for the “sumpers” who do not like to add water for extended periods of time due to evaporation. The ®SkimBob will allow your box filter to stand/hang completely out of the water and still function perfectly while in bypass mode. In sump apps, the sump pump will likely run out of water depth long before the ®SkimBob does. (finally total freedom)… -Nano

®BioTrap RedTop Aquarium Filter – Deep Pull Extension Vac Pipe Bypass for ®SkimBob Vacation Assembly… – Patent Pending
Overview:
The BioPro (P157-VAC) ®BioTrap RedTop Short Pull Extension Vac Pipe and external top water surface ®SkimBob configuration skim slot and/or corner box bypass conversion kit allows for the offset of the evaporation which normally takes place in the tank habitat chamber and prevents any surface water skimming from taking place, this often occurs when the system is left unattended during away time, (or vacationing); this illiminates the dry-run and overheating of the pump when the internal tank water level of the habitat chamber falls below that of the acceptable drain level of the surface water skimming intake slots and/or corner boxes and causes the pump to run dry.
Keeps your Biofilter or pump/powerheads running in as little as 2″ of free standing water depth after evaporation has taken place. Perfect for aquarium, pond, sump or terrarium water features…

COMPLETE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE:
®(BAWPS)
®BioTrap – RedTop
SERIES-I
FILTER SYSTEM
SHALLOW or DEEP PULL VAC PIPE EXTENSION, ®SKIMBOB and ®SKIMBOB AIR LINE ASSEMBLY
The series-I filters provide an optional vac pipe and external top water surface skimbob configuration conversion kit which allows for the offset of the evaporation that takes place in the tank habitat chamber and prevents any surface water skimming from taking place, this often occurs when the system is left unattended during away time, (or vacationing); this illuminates the dry-run and overheating of the pump when the internal tank water level of the habitat chamber falls below that of the acceptable drain level of the surface water skimming intake slots and causes the pump to run dry.
Referring to the Series-I BioTrap RedTop box filter’s top surface water skimming slots which are capable of providing non-stop surface skimming twenty-four hours a day. This action in turn, continuously removes all the contaminants trapped within the upper layers of the main tank/habitat chamber containment area’s water column.
This process of continual water transference prevents any of the normal buildup of harmful contaminants such as algae blooms, nitrites, nitrates, PH imbalances, detritus and other biological waste that regularly accumulate within main tank/habitat chamber containment area and which can often offset the long-term stability of the water quality within the entire system.
The gain of aquatic load, (or cycle), as it takes place over time, frequently makes the main tank/habitat chamber containment area itself, detrimental to the plants and animals that reside within it.
Once the Series-I BioTrap RedTop box filter w/ c.o.d. diffuser and high flow cyclonic bioskimmer system completes with its initial processing of the main tank/habitat chamber containment area water, and just as fast as the dual head system pump w/ venturi, can pull the water flow back and into the box filter w/ c.o.d. diffuser via the top surface skimming slots and deep pull supply down pipe extension, one of the keyed bi-directional powerhead manifold assemblies which can be mounted to the front flow control manifold port will transfer the outflow into the main tank/habitat chamber containment area.
Although the Series-I BioTrap RedTop biological trapping filter w/ c.o.d. diffuser and cyclonic high flow bioskimmer is fully capable of running as a stand alone unit, it also comes equipped with additional accessories and features which make it extremely unique and versatile in a varied array of applications.
Tested true on Fish, Coral and Plants of all kinds… -Nano
