The one piece of kit every reefer tunes daily and never quite understands — drawn like a 1950s patent plate and blown apart part by part: collection cup, body, cone, pump, floating up the axis line in fine blueprint white. FIG. 2 — PROTEIN SKIMMER. EXPLODED VIEW. And the footnote every keeper earns the hard way, set smallest at the bottom: tuned daily, understood never. If you've ever re-seated the cup at 11pm just to watch the bubble line settle, you didn't buy this shirt — you qualified for it.
Printed on a Bella+Canvas 3001 unisex staple tee — soft ringspun combed cotton with a smooth retail fit that holds its shape wash after wash. The blueprint-white linework and technical caption read crisp and bold on dark fabric, with a reef-cyan water column inside the skimmer body and a signal-amber axis, leaders, and callout dots. Available in 13 colors, from true black through navy, forest, and heathered greys.
A build-completion marker, a tank-anniversary gift for the keeper who has opinions about skimmer tuning, or the shirt they wear to the frag swap where exactly three people get the joke.
Made to order and printed just for you, so it's produced fresh (typically 3–7 business days) before it ships. Shipping times vary by location. Care: machine wash cold inside out, tumble dry low, do not iron directly on the print.
Drafted like a patent. Tuned like the real thing.
