Mantis Tornado Protein Skimmer 120
Mantis Tornado Protein Skimmer 120
The Mantis Tornado Protein Skimmer 120 is a compact, high-performance in-sump protein skimmer designed for marine and reef aquariums between 300 and 600 litres. Featuring a turbulence-reducing skimmer body, efficient DC pump and advanced bubble dispersant chamber, it removes dissolved organic waste before it can break down into ammonia, nitrate and phosphate.
Designed for hobbyists wanting powerful filtration without sacrificing valuable sump space, the Tornado 120 combines excellent skimming performance with a remarkably small footprint. Its precision-engineered PVC and acrylic construction ensures durability, while the quiet DC pump delivers reliable performance with low power consumption.
Suitable for fish-only marine systems, mixed reefs and coral aquariums, the Mantis Tornado 120 helps maintain crystal-clear water, improved oxygen exchange and low nutrient levels for healthier fish and corals.

Why Use a Protein Skimmer?
A protein skimmer removes dissolved organic compounds before they decompose into harmful nutrients. By exporting waste early, it helps maintain stable water quality and reduces the workload on biological filtration.
Benefits include:
- Lower nitrate and phosphate levels
- Improved water clarity
- Better oxygen exchange
- Reduced nuisance algae
- Healthier fish and corals
- Improved long-term reef stability
Why Choose the Mantis Tornado 120?
The Mantis Tornado 120 delivers professional-level skimming performance in a compact package. Its efficient bubble plate and turbulence-reducing body maximise contact time between air and water, while the quiet DC pump provides reliable operation with minimal energy consumption.
Its small footprint also makes it an excellent choice for sumps where installation space is limited.
