Good 75 gallon skimmer

Also seen under different brands. Easy to assemble and works well when the sump water height is 9 inches. It has a drain hole (rubber stopper in the package) on the collection cup with hose, so you can add an external cup for easy removal. I couldn't use it because the sides of the swamp are too high.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Almost everything ok

Impressed!: Water Pumps

This little skimmer works as well if not better than my eSsence Reef Octopus Skimmer, which I paid over $300 for. I was extremely surprised by the quality. I bought this for a low tank that I installed because I didn't want to spend $$$$$. This is a great skimmer that is very easy to set up and ready to use.

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Very Expensive

Pump lasted 5 weeks

I bought this skimmer 5 weeks ago and today the pump started making a loud grinding noise. I cleaned the pump, didn't help. This came a week after Revain's 30-day return policy. I looked through the listing but couldn't find how to contact the seller. **UPDATE** IOAOI immediately sent me a replacement pump. Excellent customer service. I give 4 stars because the pump shouldn't have broken. Hope the replacement works better.

  • Cool

Great for the price.

Works great and costs a lot less. Got this one as it matches my Riff coffee table. Required a little less than 20 inches tall and this was 18 inches tall and fit perfectly. I rid my aquarium of bacteria in the first cycle and now 2 months later with 1 Yellow Surgeonfish, 2 Frostbite Clownfish, 2 Purple Lionfish, 1 Garden Pea, 1 Cleaner Shrimp, a handful of Blue Legged Hermit Crabs and 15 Trocus Snails. This skimmer and my Refugium Hutto keep my nitrates around 0. Now I need to find a DC pump to

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • No power

Fantastic versatile skimmer that won't break the bank!

I love this skimmer! We recently purchased a 60 gallon cube with sump and stand. The included protein skimmer needed to be replaced and we wanted a skimmer in the sump. Not only does this bad boy fit, it works great too! I really like that we can regulate the water level in the skimmer with a nozzle next to the air intake nozzle without having to disassemble it to get to the pump. Great feature! And it's super quiet! πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°If the skimmer fails on our 75 gallon reef it will be replaced

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Speed

Great skimmer: Fish & Aquatic Pets

The break came quickly. I use it in a sanctuary and have a bubble trap to stop most microbubbles. I am very happy with this skimmer. The seller replaced my pump and fittings and an air muffler. Because I received the wrong dimensions and a broken muffler. So customer service is great. My degreaser cup gets half full every few days. My pool is very clean. I have an aquarium of about 90 gallons with 6 fish and coral. If you don't have a bubble trap in the cesspool. Put a large, lace-up nylon sock

Pros
  • Have fun
Cons
  • Only available in black

So far so good for fish and aquatic pets

Give this skimmer a try. So far, so good. Coffee is already in a collection cup πŸ˜‚. I had to use plastic crates to raise it about an inch in my swamp, but every water level is different so you'll need to adjust the height to suit your swamp. The skimmer is very quiet, you need to look at it to make sure it's on and working. I had trouble connecting the air intake to the pump as it was a bit tight. Used a rubber mallet and tapped it hard enough to tighten. Maybe it was just a defect on this one,

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Electrical outlet required

No other skimmer in this price range can compete with this product.

I have been keeping marine fish and coral for over a decade. When I first saw the price I thought it was a mistake. This is a complete skimmer with most of the latest advances. For the price, the skimmer is the best value for money, also with some disadvantages. I found the instructions to be poor, the plastic cup that fits over the pump doesn't fit, and there are no instructions on how to put it on to actually solve the problem. Holding on a bubble cup drilled on my device received a cup that…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Too long to wait
