Amazing, amazing, amazing.

Removed all deposits from the surface of my 75 gallon tank in one second. I highly recommend watching the video and reading the instructions. If you're told to use silicone, you can follow that recommendation to the tee. PS Silicone comes with the product.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Multiplier Set

The thing works! best in Aquarium Pumps & Filters

I rarely write reviews but I think this product definitely deserves one. The surface of my 75 gallon planted tank has always been dirty. I've tried many other skimmers, even 2 at a time, and nothing worked. They are constantly clogged, making them unusable. Worse, I often had to rescue shrimp, snails, and even fish that had been sucked into wide open waters. This one I installed on a Marineland 1200 Powerhead made the entire surface of a 4ft tank crystal clear in minutes. The included guppy…

Best skimmer on the market

This is by far the best skimmer I have found on the market after trying so many of them.

Crystal clear water and clean finish

Perfect product for my 150 gallon tank. I wish I had had this product when I had a planted aquarium. He does amazing work. I have African cichlids that eat sloppily so even with the FX6 pump I got biofilm on the surface. Which I painstakingly cleaned by hand every few days. Well, not anymore. Set up by 6:00 p.m., add extra charcoal and zeolite, and by 10:00 p.m. the aquarium will have crystal clear water and a clear surface. I set the timer to an hour every few hours. I would recommend it to…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
