Nate S: This is actually a nice sized skimmer, when it works.

The price is higher than it should be, as this is not a quality product, but does work well... until it doesn't. The skim chamber is rather small, so it had to be emptied daily on my 29 gallon reef. I do not like the open intake sitting in the tank, really needs a cover. I made one from an old filter intake, but should be standard.

My biggest complaint is the pump stopped, I emailed the company, got one reply saying to clean it. I replied back telling them all the steps I had completed trying to get the pump to work, and failing, but never got a reply. I cannot understand what happened. It was working as intended one day, then the next the pump acted like it has zero power. It would spin free out of water, but instantly reduced to nothing in water. I assume it must have leaked, had some powerheads in the past that split and leaked with similar results.

I was happy to hear from the manufacture / seller when I first sent the message, but the zero follow up since is not acceptable. The fact that I bought 2 of these for my small reef tanks makes me even less happy. 1 is still working, but I would not waste your...

TracyLiz: Pretty amazing little skimmer. I had a $250 Coralvue BH 2000 Octopus skimmer in my 90 gallon reef tank for about 8 months and it broke and a replacement is going to take awhile to get here, so I bought this one in the interim. To my delight, it came the next day fully assembled, I just connected the pump, plugged it in, and it started working perfectly! Great results so far. My daughter said it's so much less obtrusive and easier that I ought to just get two of these instead of replacing with a big one! I will still replace the big one because of some of the things mentioned below specific to my tank, but will keep this as a backup, I really love it, and for the price it's fantastic. Great little skimmer!

I like (love!):

- Works as advertised! Producing skimmate.

- No fuss set up. Out of the box and into the tank easy. I didn't have to tweak the wheel at all, left as shipped and works great.

- No fuss operation. Other large skimmers I've had to adjust optimal wet or dry skimming level by raising or lowering the skimmate cup. Sometimes they'll sink lower if they get full, causing too wet and overflow, or stick when trying to replace the cup. No such...
