I am very pleased with this product. My protein skimmer on this tank is built into the refugium and does not skim the surface. I hooked this surface skimmer up to my Magnum H.O.T. and, as others have reported, within minutes there was no sign of any surface film or debris on the water. Excellent! |

I recently purchased this surface skimmer in hopes that it would clean the surface of my 55 gallon reef tank. I hooked it up to my Fluval 404, and within minutes to my astonishment the surface was "crystal clear!" I still cannot believe how easy it was to set up and how quickly it worked. Now I know my corals and anemones are getting the best light possible. I would definitely recommend this product! |

I just received my Surface Skimmer today and with almost no trouble at all I had it hooked up to my Eco canister pump working great. If it keeps working like this I won't be looking at the nasty surface film on my tank water any more. There was a little adjustment to get it pulling water and not producing bubbles from sucking air, but with that done it's working just fine. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who doesn't have an overflow. |

I always had an oily film on the surface of my water. I attached the surface skimmer to the water pump that feeds my protein skimmer. I instantly saw the film start to pour down the floating intake. Within one hour the surface of my water was clear! Because the intake floats, I also do not have to worry about my pump running dry. |

This is the coolest, most well designed thing I have seen in a long time. I connected it to my magnum canister filter. All the scum was gone from the surface of my tank in minutes. This surface skimmer is worth every penny. |

I have two hooked up to my fluval 405s. Works great. Two things I noticed is you have to play a little bit with the fluval hoses to make them fit right. And it takes a few minutes to dial in. I liked it so much I bought one for my mom's 20 gallon. |
