Nyos Quantum 160 EQ Upgrade Kit The Nyos Quantum 160 EQ Upgrade Kit converts an existing Nyos Quantum 160 Protein Skimmer into the modern Quantum 160 EQ control platform. Designed for reef keepers who already own the standard Quantum 160 skimmer body, this kit adds a controllable 24V Quantum 3.0 pump, dedicated controller, RGB skimmer lighting, updated bubble plate, power supply, Mobius app control, Apex Fusion compatibility through the optional MXM module, and smart safety features without replacing the complete skimmer. Quantum 160 EQ Control for Existing Nyos Skimmers This upgrade kit is made specifically for the Nyos Quantum 160 Protein Skimmer and turns the proven AC Quantum platform into an app-controllable EQ model. Instead of running at one fixed pump output, the upgraded skimmer can be adjusted electronically from 1-100%, scheduled through the day, reduced during feeding or maintenance, and tuned more precisely to match the aquarium's nutrient load. Nyos Quantum 160 EQ Upgrade Features Converts the Quantum 160 to EQ specification: Built for owners of the standard Nyos Quantum 160 who want the control features of the Quantum 160 EQ without buying a complete new skimmer body. 24V Quantum 3.0 pump: The included low-voltage controllable pump replaces the standard Quantum 160 pump and gives the skimmer electronic speed control. Mobius app control: Wireless app operation allows pump speed changes, scheduling, preset templates, and scene-based control from a compatible iOS or Android device. Apex Fusion compatibility: Integration with Neptune Systems Apex Fusion is available when used with the MXM Mobius Wireless Control Module, sold separately. Stepless 1-100% adjustment: Fine pump-speed control helps tune wet or dry skimming and makes the skimmer easier to adapt to feeding level, livestock load, and nutrient goals. Preset skimmer modes: Performance Mode, Plankton Saving Mode, and Nutrient Export Reduction Mode provide practical starting points for different reef-management situations. Smart safety protection: If an intake blockage occurs, the system can shut down the pump, attempt to clear the obstruction, flash the RGB LED red, and send an app notification if restart is unsuccessful. RGB skimmer lighting: The included LED indicates pump speed by colour code and can also help illuminate the cabinet or sump during service work. Energy-saving EQ pump platform: Nyos lists the EQ pump system as using up to 20% less power while being 10% more powerful than the non-controllable Quantum pump platform.

It does not include a complete skimmer body, collection cup, cup lid, or full replacement skimmer assembly. Apex Fusion control requires the Neptune Systems MXM Mobius Wireless Control Module, sold separately. Use this kit when the existing Quantum 160 skimmer body is in good working condition and the goal is to add controllable EQ pump operation, lighting, smart safety features, and app-based scheduling. Nyos Quantum EQ Upgrade Video Directions for Use Disconnect and remove the existing Quantum 160 pump components before installing the EQ upgrade hardware. Fit the included 24V Quantum 3.0 pump, updated bubble plate, controller, RGB LED lighting, and power supply according to the Nyos assembly instructions. After installation, pair the skimmer with Mobius, start with moderate pump output, and allow the skimmer to stabilize before final tuning. Adjust pump speed gradually and use schedules or preset modes when reduced skimming is desired during feeding, maintenance, water changes, or low-nutrient periods.
