The Nyos Quantum EQ is a next-generation controllable skimmer that combines proven Nyos skimming performance with modern connectivity, precision control, and intelligent safety protections. Quantum EQ brings your nutrient export into the world of smart reefing, allowing easy adjustments, custom schedules, and real-time feedback through the Mobius app.
Wireless Control via Mobius or Apex Fusion
Easily connect to the free Mobius app for intuitive control or integrate with Apex Fusion through the MXM module (sold separately). Manage pump speed, create schedules, and sync your skimmer with the rest of your smart reef gear. The pump speed of the EQ can be adjusted from 1 to 100%. Different pump speeds can also be set throughout the day in the app.
Smart Operating Modes
Choose from preset templates that adapt your skimmer to the tank's needs:
Performance Mode: The performance of the skimmer pump is set to 70% and you can make the fine adjustment yourself.
Plankton Saving Mode: The skimmer performance is reduced at night so that natural plankton, which is mainly active at night, is protected.
Nutrient Export Reduction Mode: If the aquarium has too low nutrient levels, the Nutrient Export Reduction Mode permanently reduces the performance of the skimmer.
Safety and Alerts
If a snail shell or other debris blocks the intake, the pump shuts down, allowing water to flow out of the skimmer and removing the snail shell. If the pump cannot be restarted, it shuts down automatically, the RGB LED in the skimmer flashes red, and a notification appears in the app.
LED Feedback
An RGB LED in the skimmer indicates the pump speed via a color code and can also be used as a flashlight for maintenance work in the cabinet.
Energy-Saving 24V Pump
The Quantum EQ uses energy-saving low-voltage pumps made in Europe. Thanks to the intelligent control system, the pump consumes up to 20% less power and is 10% more powerful compared to the non-controllable Quantum pump.
