Fish Tank Aquarium Protein Skimmer Filter Pump 530 gph

It takes a lot of tweaking and modifications to get it to work correctly. Even then it only runs correctly for less than a day before having to tweak it again. Very cheap plastic on housing and connections,and cracks very easily. Only positive thing about it is the motor,it runs great with no problems.

hard to get set right and takes tinkering now and then, But i have this guy on my 180 gallon and it keeps my tank very oil free.

the plastic breaks super easy it is a good product and works well but you have to be carefull with it. it also has a poor mounting design for a sump tank.

i set this up in my tank and the motor was way too powerful, even with the flow control, i am running it with a smaller motor and some holes drilled in some 3/4" tubing. setup took alot of time but it is working fine now. first one i've ever used so cannot measure against anything else.

Ordered this for my 120 fish only tank, trying to save a few bucks, and while it shipped very quickly, that's about where the positives end. The item came in a plain white box with a small instructions pamphlet that was clearly written by someone for whom English is not a native tongue. The few instructions that came with the item were incredibly unclear and unhelpful. Then once I got to assembling the skimmer, I realized just how flimsy it was. The collection cup is held in place by wishes and hopes and would go flying off as soon as you turned this thing on and it started foaming over. That's another thing as well, the amount of foam and micro bubbles was ungodly, and no matter how much you adjusted the multiple valves, it was either not skimming at all, or blowing over with foam. Not to mention that the design of this thing is extremely ill thought out. It takes up an enormous amount of space inside the tank, and the bracket to hang it is not wide enough for my tank ( did I mention this was advertised to work for up to 180 gallon tanks?). What possible uses this item can have, I haven't a clue. I've started the return process and purchased a seaclone 150 which compared to this thing is a dream come true and that's saying something, because the seaclone is a budget skimmer.
