Difficult to set up, better products available

This skimmer works, but for many people it's almost impossible to set up properly and keep it there. I've helped hundreds of people try and set it up. The Aquatic Life 115 Skimmer has the exact same body but a different collection cup and air intake and works perfectly. It fits camera 1 Fluval Sea Evo 13.5 and works great there.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • old

Came back - broke after a few months

I was pleased that this skimmer was a perfect match for my 13.5 gallon Fluval Evo tank. However, it never worked properly, created poor flow. However, it is very quiet. Worst of all, it stopped working completely, didn't notice it right away because it's so quiet. The flow of water through the second and third chambers is disturbed. Lost almost all of my fish. The return was easy. Would NOT buy again.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Something different

Never worked for aquarium pumps and filters

Skimmer never worked. At first I thought I didn't know how to use it properly. A few months later I tried using it again following the directions and letting it work for at least 1 week but nothing, it didn't work. Now, after trying again, I can say that the product must be defective. I didn't send it back in time because I wasn't sure if it was me not knowing how to operate it or some other problem. My €60 went in the trash. I will buy another skimmer.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Fluval - I am extremely disappointed with this skimmer

Fluval - Extremely disappointed with this skimmer. Usually you have the best products and this one is horribly designed, doesn't even match. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and traded you for another - EXACTLY THE SAME problems. The air hose hole doesn't fit the hose, the top falls off and leaks into my nano tank and it doesn't fit the Fluval 13.5 with no support. Most of my aquarium gear is fluvial, and that annoyed me - they rushed at it with haste and poor quality. It absolutely does not

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Lots

It does the job.

The skimmer is very picky about the water level. I had to add a line of tape on my back chamber to mark the correct water level. I also had to add color to one side of the water level dial so I could tell if I was turning it up or down because the knob rotates 360 degrees and I couldn't tell the setting otherwise. The device does its job, but I have to empty the bowl of the skimmer 1-2 times a day and refill it with water. - Update - I gave up using the skimmer on my Evo 13.5 and decided to…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Reliability

Perfect fit for Fluval Evo Tank

I have a 13.5 gallon Fluval AIO on my light stand by my bed which I installed in late January 2021. About 2 weeks ago I bought a protein skimmer. That works great. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it added noise (gurgling) and will add a lot of microbubbles depending on the type of filtration system. I replaced the sponge filter that came with the tank with a filter thread, which helped a lot against the microbubbles, but in terms of sound, that's the only thing I hear the most in…

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Operating speed

Fluval was wrong

Updated 3/21. So, a few notes. Inserting the air valve into the cup lid was incredibly difficult. This isn't an issue I had during the first skimmer I ordered and returned, but it was a long-awaited issue. On the first skimmer, the valve came off the lid easily and had to be in a precise position to prevent the lid from moving and dislodging from the lid. On the second skimmer, once the valve is pushed into the lid, the valve will not move, keeping the lid in place and preventing the valve from

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Slightly dented

This skimmer is AWESOME!

I don't know why so many people say this skimmer is bad or difficult to set up but I think this skimmer is amazing! I've had this in my Fluval Evo 13.5 for 6 months now with no sign of a problem. It was originally in chamber 1 as intended, later I "upgraded" to the InTank media basket (a waste of money) and moved it to chamber 2. This is the only nano skimmer I've found that has 2 settings: water level and air flow (bubbles). It's easy to set up, watch a youtube video if you want, but all you…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Update available

Super quiet and great performance - if you install it correctly!

I gave 5 stars because this is the absolute best of the nano skimmers (and I've tried 4), although it took me a while to adjust and I made a few mistakes with the first one . So I judge by the curve :) FIRST: Don't repeat my mistake! I have a Fluval Evo 13.5 so I read the instructions too quickly and figured I didn't need to install the brackets that hold the front and back of the skimmer body together (the front and back of the skimmer are separate so you can clean them be able). easy). )…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Expensive
