Quiet Quiet Quiet for aquarium pumps and filters

I love this skimmer, works 24 hours and is already starting to draw. And much quieter than my bubble mage. I have a 40 grower with a 20 gallon pallet. Great skimmer πŸ‘πŸ»

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Works like a beast!

No complaints other than it's a bit noisy so we glued on some rubber feet which helped a lot. It also works like a top and is fairly easy to set up.

Pros
  • Good for many
Cons
  • Poor kit

Inexpensive structure for fish and aquatic animals

Cheap structure. Came in with a broken leg. I have contacted the seller. No response from seller so I taped it back myself. Not very happy with the quality or customer service from the sellers. Would not recommend this product

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • Minor problems

The best skimmer for the money

The best skimmer for the money at Revain. I had an aquarium shop. I have this little skimmer in my 150 gallon tank. Its surface is so small that it fits anywhere. After all, it works better than large skimmers that cost three times as much.

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Returns for fish and aquatic animals

Spend money, buy better. Instructions are not included. Try to guess yourself. After the company complained, they sent instructions to another skimmer with similar but not the same parts. I'm not a rocket scientist. Please provide me the correct manual for the device I bought. The bottom walls are not attached to the vertical skimmer/hold the pump in place. The pump turns off when you try to lower the device into the sump. The bowl of the skimmer continues to overflow and the contents flow back

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Sun-Sun

There is simply no better skimmer for a small aquarium

I have been involved with reef aquariums for a long time and have had skimmers from Eshopps, Tunze and Avast Marine among others. This little guy is by far the best thing I've ever had. Extremely durable and beautiful with clear, white and orange acrylic. Dismantling is done by locking with four slotted screws. This thing started skimming almost immediately, pulling a cup of tea colored scum from my 40 mixed reef breeders every few days. The water level adjustment is great with the geared gate…

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Hard to say

Effective, but parts break easily. Outstanding service!

Good efficient skimmer, sometimes noisy, but frequent cleaning of the air line reduces the noise. The glue holding it together is weak, many of the structural elements will need re-gluing. After about 6 months the pump started to work irregularly. It turns on, lights up for about 2 minutes, then goes off for a few minutes. The power supply/socket is OK and the pump has been cleaned regularly. Edit: I contacted Coralvue support and they sent me a pump with a 6 month post-purchase warranty. The…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • High price

Mismatch, recommended water level is wrong

First, the recommended 6-9 inch water level is terribly inaccurate. Anything deeper than 3-4 inches will cause the skimmer to overflow at high speed. I was told to keep it at the recommended water level and let it overflow until it stops. Unfortunately, after 3 weeks of waiting, it did NOT stop overflowing. even had to raise it above the 6-inch minimum recommended in the instructions. I'm guessing it's currently at about 4 inches deep. Even at this water level, the skimmer will start to fill…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
