Gets the job done!

Review Date: April 2, 2009

I was very skeptical of this skimmer but without a large budget to work with i had to give it a shot. This skimmer works, there are a few adjustments you MUST make but it works. It does over flow but there is a overflow airtube line to run the over flow into a empty bottle. The skimmer took me about a week of it running to start skimming but it works perfect fine now. This is a good skimmer for anything under 30 gallons, if you have anything larger you should buy a better skimmer than this one. This skimmer does enough to get the job done.

Thanks,

Good idea, but...

I was excited to try out this skimmer for my 10g nano reef. It seemed to work fine for a few days, but in less than a week it was both constantly throwing micro bubbles inside my tank and the cup was constantly overflowing. I eventually had the skimmer part as far out of the water as I possibly could, nearly 3 inches above the 'suggested water level' and still the cup would overflow within two hours. Adding extra filter floss helped stop the micro bubbles but also caused mad overflow from the cup. Having had it for a month I have yet to have it do any real skimming and it is now in a box under my tank.

As the other reviewer had seen, this thing does not skim very well. Same micro bubbles, same over flowing, same raising out of the water as much as possible. I would set a good height that seemed it would make some good skimmate, to return later to find it overflowing. I did find out that the black knob at the top of the cup is a drain for the cup, but I have not seen if it keeps in skimmate or fixes the problem. The only redeeming quality of this skimmer is that it does come with a small powerhead, so it isn't a total loss.
