Protein Skimmer Wood Stone (2PK)

JBJ Protein Skimmer Wood Stone (2PK)

The JBJ Protein Skimmer Wood Stone (2PK) delivers ultra-fine microbubbles and accurate airflow for stable, efficient foam fractionation. Find it under JBJ Aquarium in our Skimmers and Filtration Devices selections, alongside other chamber-fit upgrades for nano systems.

How JBJ Protein Skimmer Wood Stone (2PK) Improves Microbubble Performance — Internal Protein Skimmers

Within the back chamber, the Protein Skimmer Wood Stone creates dense, uniform bubbles that raise organics quickly and consistently. Browse Skimmers and then refine by Internal (Skimmers) to pair this stone with compatible air-driven models.

Key advantages

• Precision airflow supports a consistent foam head and faster skimmate production

• Fine-pore limewood yields tight microbubbles for improved contact time

• Petite size fits tight compartments in all-in-one nano tanks

• Designed for JBJ 28-gallon HQI; may fit other air-driven units

• Replace monthly to maintain output and bubble density

• Quiet operation when paired with a properly tuned air pump

Specs & Compatibility for JBJ Aquarium Wood Stone Skimmer

• Dimensions: 3 inches × 0.5 inch

• Pack size: 2 stones

• Material: kiln-dried limewood for uniform pore structure

• Placement: internal, rear filtration chamber

• Replacement interval: every 4 weeks for peak performance

• Compatibility: purpose-built for the JBJ 28-gallon HQI Nano Cube; verify chamber clearance on other brands

• Note: many non-JBJ airstone housings use different footprints and will not fit correctly

Setup and Placement Guide for Wood Stone Skimmer

Seat the Protein Skimmer Wood Stone vertically in the skimmer body and attach standard airline tubing. Then adjust airflow until the foam head reaches the base of the collection cup. Rinse the stone in RO/DI water before use to clear dust, and allow a brief break-in for stable performance.

FAQ About JBJ Protein Skimmer Wood Stone (2PK)

Is this for internal or external units?
It is for internal models that sit in the rear chamber of nano all-in-one aquariums.

Will it fit non-JBJ skimmers?
It targets the JBJ 28-gallon HQI internal skimmer. Other brands may differ; confirm chamber size and airstone mount.

How often should it be replaced?
Replace it about every month. Performance drops as pores clog and bubble size increases.

What airflow works best?
Use an adjustable air pump. Increase flow gradually until the foam head rises steadily without overflowing.

Any maintenance tips?
Rinse with RO/DI water during cup cleanings. Do not squeeze the wood, which can damage pore structure and reduce output.
