Hang-On Marine Color RDC 150: Advanced Needle Wheel Protein Skimmer for 40 Gallon Saltwater Aquariums Review

Black Skimmates in Five Hours! This little skimmer is awesome! Has a small footprint in the palette (should fit in the palette). It works MUCH better than the Coralife 65 it replaced. I can't say enough about it. High quality acrylic, just open with care as they are well packaged. I saw a video where a guy broke it while opening it. Biggest tip? READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND USE THE ASSEMBLY DIAGRAM. Be careful not to lose the o-rings on the water level rod during assembly. It can be adjusted to…

Surprisingly good skimmer for the price. Some adjustment is needed, I got mine about halfway out of the pan. There are a few things to note - there are three ways to customize this. The entire skimmer can be raised and lowered. The outlet tube can be rotated and the air tube can be opened or closed (if a valve is added). Once I set it high enough it immediately started pulling out nasty dirt. Can't wait to see what it can do once the walls are coated. If water overflows, there is not enough of…

He's a few months old, 4 fish, quite a bit of coral and I'm very happy with his work. YOU MUST LET IT BREAK! The overflow hose of the collection cup helps here. You can just let it sink in and it will never flood your floor and create a layer of mucus in your body. I would definitely buy this again. I've read negative review…

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this skimmer. For such a low price, I really had very low expectations. However, it actually works quite well! GOOD: - Very quiet operation - Started pulling all sorts of nasty debris out of my tank almost immediately - Easy to set up if you're relatively familiar with the concept of most HOB skimmers. THE BAD: - I couldn't just use this as a HOB device as the listing would suggest. I used this on a glass canopy breeder 40 (the one with a 2" strip of
