Review on AquaTop Xyclone Protein Skimmer Aquariums by Sandy Taylor

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Use in a swamp is not allowed.

I bought this skimmer to replace an old CPR SR-2 skimmer in a pallet. The info says it works in a tank or in a swamp. Here's the problem; This skimmer has no flow control or level control. You cannot adjust this skimmer and it must be adjusted by adjusting the water level in the sump or the height of the skimmer if it is in a tank. Therefore, for this skimmer to work in a sump, you need to keep water in the sump. level matches. This is difficult without constant maintenance or float switches. The water evaporates, the skimmer does not rise into the cup and is not caught. The swamp is full, the skimmer is overflowing. Forget a canopy when you add this skimmer to your aquarium. Buyers be careful.

Pros
  • Power: 10W
