Update: Perfect for a 65 gallon tank.

<UPDATE> Well I've been using this skimmer for 6 months now and it's working great. It does an excellent job of hiding, just one issue that needs to be reported. The o-ring on the swingarm broke in half, but luckily I had some small o-rings on hand. It was easy to fix. I currently have 6 fish in my tank, I fed them twice a day and they did it. I would definitely recommend to a friend. I tried several skimmers to find the perfect fit for my aquarium and biolast. This worked perfectly! I…

Quiet, efficient, efficient and compact.

The skimmer is great. I've been working for about 12 hours, and the green goosebumps are already gathering in the cup. I think I'll be able to set it up in a few days or so, but that's to be expected. The instructions are pretty minimal but enough to help. Seems to be made of good material, I hope it will last. I had fairly clean water in my 55 gallon saltwater tank before installing the skimmer in my 13 gallon sump, but I honestly noticed the water quality improved after the installation. I…

Good basic skimmer - fish and aquatic animals

I really like this skimmer. I bought it because it was one of the few that I could fit into the sump of my 75g mix reef and still have some wiggle room. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it works and it worked almost immediately as advertised. I have it set to dry foam and have to clean the drip tray every 2-3 days. Has been working for two months now with no problems. I gave it four stars because: 1) the instructions aren't all that clear, and if you don't know much about skimmers and how

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Hard to say

Two weeks have passed and it's still working. I know that the water level needs to be adjusted and run in. IM working on it. But my last two skimmers were quickly ready for use. This one is just annoying. I'll let you know in a week with additional updates. Update: 10/8/2017. It's finally cracked and works great. Remember that the Min and Max settings apply to the water level. The closer to the minimum (Min), the lower the water level, the closer to the maximum, the higher the water level. The…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • No automatic

Zero customer support!

UPDATE: As I mentioned in my previous review, there is no customer support for this product. So if you are not willing to solve potential problems yourself, be careful with the buyer. However the product finally works after 7 days of head scratching and trying so I'm increasing the stars to 3 but dropping two due to the complete lack of customer support as this skimmer actually works once dialed in. After 7 days and lots of trial and error I managed to get this working as intended and it works…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Doubt
