Review on 🐠 Odyssea Clean 100 Internal Surface Skimmer Aquarium Filter 450L for Plant Tanks by Rhonda Quire

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works great but rusty. I do not understand.

First of all this skimmer works great. It worked great for me and I never had any problems. up to several months. As others have said, it doesn't go best with a rimmed tank. It will hang in there. But even with the adapter "it likes to fall forward" so that, depending on the depth set, it slides better at the front and nothing at the back. This can cause air bubbles to get in, and millions of tiny bubbles will fly out throughout the tank. Second, and the number one reason I say DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS, is a serious design flaw. There is a set screw that holds the skimmer to the hanging adapter. This set screw and nut are tiny. But it made all the difference in my tank. Started rusting after a few months. And by the time I realized it was rusting, it was already too late. It killed my anemone and my stats went insane. Even with the working carbon, it took forever for my tank to get back to normal. rust = bad. If this prop was made out of hard plastic like the others I would rate it 5 stars and it would still work in my tank. Don't take this unless you want rust to kill everything.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Slightly torn
