Aquarium Surface Protein Skimmer,3W Fish Tank Protein Skimmer,3 in 1 Aquarium Oil Skimmer for Sea and Fresh Water, Internal Filter Wall Mounted Fish Tank Surface Protein Skimmer

Super simple setup. Adjustable direction of spray. Cleared up filmy surface really fast. It is a tiny unit which should not be thought of as a whole tank filter. I think this will be perfect for as-needed use.

I have 18 tanks and when one develops some surface oil due to a rescape or a new setup, I use this to clean the surface. Works great on tanks 20 gallons and under. No issues with setting up or using it. It is completely quiet as well. I'd buy again.

This little thing is great for what I needed. My tank was developing a small amount of environmental mold on top of the water. I would just get a surface oil in my display area that wouldn't suck back into my AIO chamber filtration allowing that to fester. A lot of folks say these don't last long so I'm running it in a timer for 5 mins 4x per day. The little blue piece pops up when it shuts off and I feel like this could be a huge problem if you are running it this way without a lid. It will pop completely off, nothing holds it on besides the suction of the pump. I have mine set up to where when it pops up it has a little room to stop sucking water (and lock the gunk in the chamber) but it can't unseat itself cause it hits my lid. Running it only a few minutes also prevents the micro bubble issue some people are encountering. It's plenty effective enough on my 25 gallon in just a few minutes for what I needed. It's not going to replace something more heave duty like a protein skimmer. I don't hate the extra oxygenation either. It's really a lot smaller than I thought it looked as well which is a bonus for having to run it in the display area. Barely bigger than my powerhead.

I only gave this an average rating, because it probably does well for a SMALL tank - do NOT think of trying to use this on anything more than maybe a 20 or 30gal tank! I needed one for a 125gal and this was WAY too small! I ended up returning this one & going with the SunSun unit - it's literally twice the size! All of these skimmers function pretty much the same way - and yes, you have to be careful with any floating foods!

These skimmers are good for a couple months. They definitely do a good job clearing up the water, but they do get plugged up pretty quick. Also the tubing they provide is kind of difficult to adjust without knocking the whole skimmer out of place or them falling apart, so you are better off not using them at all. The worst part for me has been that the suction cups gave out completely and all 3 of my units are useless

UPDATE : After a year of daily constant use this filter has lost its power, I’ve cleaned it and it just doesn’t produce the flow it did. But for the cost a year of use is great. I’ve had this for 3 months now it is constantly running. It is great at moving the surface water and preventing bio film. It’s a handy surface skimmer as well I clean the filter sponges out one a week and there is always gunk in it. I am using it in a 40 gallon tank for a nap turtle. It should not be used as a primary filter that’s not what it’s for.

This is a drop tube, with a sponge and a tiny pump. Pump actually worked ok. But is a basic filter. It will NOT remove proteins at all besides what falls into it.

No more cloudy oily residue on my water surface! And it took care of it in less than 15 minutes. Wow if I knew it would be this easy I would have bought this years ago. Why did I wait? I got so sick of it. This little waterfall is so quiet, I actually enjoy lifting the top to listen to it. It's easy to adjust too. I saw a few reviews that said about adjusting but it was a breeze.

does the job looks good

The product works well. Also it is quite compact in size. It has made significant difference to my tank.
