Easy to use in aquarium pumps and filters

It was a nightmare for me to run. There is not enough information to fix this skimmer. I had to go online to blogging sites to find out why the skimmer kept overflowing when I plugged it in. In the end I had to remove the knee in the overflow. For $204 I don't think you need to modify this skimmer to make it work properly. This skimmer is considered one of the best, 3 days have passed and the skimmer has not yet been removed. I know there is a break in the period, but there has to be a rest…

That's all it says

I work as a professional skimmer. However, it can overflow when watering. It can explode from the top, so you'd better clean the top of this mug. Or fish poop getting messed up on your wall with no real way to hide it until the tank is moved. A plate skimmer works best, but it will never replace a pan skimmer. But when there is no choice but the stove. and you feel you should have a skimmer in your saltwater tank (many successful aquariums, large and small, do not have a skimmer), this is the…

Amazing skimmer and you can't beat the price.

My only complaint about this skimmer is that I didn't get it sooner! I love this unit! The best part is that you can completely disassemble it for cleaning. It even looks fantastic. The cost is amazing and the construction is incredibly solid. It's very quiet and just makes sense. If you have already worked with a skimmer, you will appreciate this device even more. I've been a hobbyist for 30 years and this is by far the best oven I've ever bought. It comes partially assembled with very simple…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Very expensive

Very happy with this purchase.

I was skeptical because of the negative reviews but bought it anyway. I really like this HOB protein skimmer. The instructions were almost useless, but since this wasn't my first HOB protein skimmer I didn't have much trouble building it. I've had it for a little over a month and it didn't overflow (even after turning it off and restarting). Sometimes the pump hums loudly. It stops after a few hard presses, but that worries me. I hope it will not become worse. It slides as expected. My previous

Ideal for aquarium pumps and filters

This skimmer is a beast and probably the best for its size and performance. He does his job so well cleaning my reef tank and I end up with the worst black-green goo in my mug. The bowl is large, which reduces the risk of accidents. I love this one, I looked at so many, read all the reviews and finally settled on this one. It was a surprise for my husband and he liked it. His tank is doing much better than the old one. This is easy to set up and breaks quickly. The inlet also slides over the…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Can't remember

Do not buy this pump because of its guarantee Works very well. But some flaws. It pours very easily when it's on. In addition, the water consumption is too low. Even the manufacturer suggests cutting off 1 to 2 inches to take off the top of the water. I cut mine off by an inch and a half and it works perfectly now. There were also overflow issues and removing the inner sponge would solve that issue. Update: After about 7 months of use, the pump won't turn on. Sometimes if left for 6-8 hours it…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Little things

Do not buy good for filter accessories

**I don't leave reviews.**If you are looking to buy a skimmer this is not the one for you. I believe a skimmer is essential for a marine aquarium. I also strongly believe this is NOT for you :) Pros: - It works pretty well when it works properly. However, this is very small - see cons. Cons: - It gets crowded all the time. Если вы хотите войти в свою комнату с галлонами воды на полу, этот продукт для вас - они говорят: "О, вы, должно быть, неправильно настроили его или у вас неправильный…

The skimmer is not reliable and often fails.

First, the skimmer is difficult to disassemble and clean. I've been concerned with this since receiving the item as the skimmer works fine most of the time. However, now I'm encountering a problem where the customer service says that the warranty has expired. I received a brand new, unopened skimmer. When it arrived I installed it and the pump was already assembled. However, after a year of use, it turns out that the pump was assembled incorrectly by the company. Customer service says the two…
