Great suggestion for small saltwater aquariums.

I love this item. I installed it in my outboard post filter. One thing to worry about is too much wet skimmer and overflow. Mine is in a 29 gallon reef tank.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Appearance

Good buy for size and price

It's well made and easy to adjust. The only thing the specs should tell you is that it doesn't come with an air pump. That's not so important in this price range. Importantly, it fits perfectly on my rimless JBJ 20.

Pros
  • Cool item
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Works as it should.

All-in-One 40g works for me. Works great. I don't understand why the bad reviews. Maybe they didn't know how to set it up. Creates a dark skimmat as it should be after a loop break. It also uses an air pump designed for a 30 gram aquarium.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Too long to wait

What I needed best for fish and aquatic animals

I have a 30 gallon Aqua Japan AIO tank with a tray in the back. It fits perfectly in the last chamber. The air pump I use for this is a cheap 10 gallon whisper and it's more than enough. The airflow setting needs some adjustment. Start small and work your way up over the next day or two, and you'll find the sweet spot. Great little nano skimmer at a reasonable price.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Some small items

Great little skimmer!

Excellent skimmer. It was easy to set up and I had it up and running in minutes. This photo was taken about three hours after installation. Something needs to be adjusted in the next few days. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on a skimmer. You pay for the name and nothing more. I have this skimmer on my innovative Marine Nuvo 60 and it's great so far. The only downside I could find is that it doesn't ship with an airline. I had to stop and go to the store and buy an airline to hookโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • I'm mad

Great nano skimmer

I have a 10 gallon skimmer in the tank. Skimmat production in just 2 days of operation with fairly clean water and low bioburden so I'd say it's working well! Also very quiet. The proportion in the tank is not much larger than that of the heater. I have a rimmed tank and the mount is only designed for rimless so I had to improvise a bit. It sits on the edge with a set screw and I attached a suction cup to the bottom of the heater. You can buy suction cups with a mounting hole, they will mostโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not the best

Works great once you set it up, but getting it there is another story.

This skimmer will take you hours to set up before you have an effective skimmer. The first bubbler failed two weeks after the first affective skimm. This was very frustrating as the new bubbler also took several hours to assemble and disassemble. Keep an eye on the air line connecting the bubbler to the bottom cap as mine almost melted but was easy enough to replace. The supplied air valve is finely adjustable. A hair setting is open and the skimmer bubbles, a hair setting is closed and theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Feels Good
Cons
  • Something's Wrong
