Lee's Protein Skimmer Counter Current, Medium

Do not let the bad reviews fool you. Protein skimmers are not electronics gadgets or any advance technology, so why are the average skimmers on the market running for about 80-100 dollars? I read a few reviews about Lee's protein skimmer and the results were mixed. I nervously decided to give it a shot and when I received the product from "petsolutions" I realized the poor quality of the product. The piping and tubing does not fit tightly so it takes a while to get it right. I ran one aerator and split it into two lines but realized after a day that the skimmer did not produce anything. Then I experimented around and surprisingly I began to have bacterial/junk products in the collection cup.

HERE IS the SECRET-

your going to need to buy two aerators-

1) for the current going down

1) for the Lee's wooden bubbler

Then your going to need to turn on the down current line first and let that run for about a minute to create a down current.

Then you turn on the wooden bubbler line and create an upward current.

This will basically cause the downward current to meet with the upward "air pockets/bubbles" to meet and any molecules will be trapped within the aure bubbles and rise to the top of the canister and into the collection cup.

It will definetly take a few tries but BOTTOM LINE THE PRODUCT DOES SKIM!!

I have a 30 gallon tank with 2 clowns, 1 spiny box, 3 anemones and the only running on a hang on filter with the skimmer and my water quality is crystal clear.

I took a stupid risk with the skimmer and I actually got it to work and I hope the best of luck for others.

I was a little hesitant about buying it because there were mixed reviews about the item. It is easy to setup and once you follow the directions ON THE BOX it will remove the toxins from your water. I had it running for about 3 hours after receiving it and there was already brown mucky skimmate in the collection cup. The trick is to have the downflow on first before turning on the airstone so the bubbles mix more with the water. Also there is a line telling you where the bubbles are supposed to be, and where the water level is supposed to be. I highly recommend this product.

I ordered this protien skimmer for price and just getting into the saltwater hobby. The price is really good for the functionality of the protie. Skiimer and for the craftsmanship. The protien skimmer is not a high end protien skimmer. You get what you pay for. Tbe protien skimmer was easy to setup followed instructions on the box and after one night and part of the next day i was getting sludge i. The cup. Very pleasex with the protien skimmer.

Very easy to set up, started working for me almost immediately, need to order a separate air pump, I only use one pump (Tetra whisper for 40 gal) for my Lees skimmer and it works great. Simple technology with almost no moving parts to worry about breaking. Would definitely recommend for a starter skimmer. I have it in a 45 gal tank and it does great!

Pieces are loosely assembled and took some effort to get the skimmer properly placed in tank since pieces did not fit tightly.

However, once in place in the tank and after some tinkering to get the bubble flow set properly the skimmer does a great job extracting waste from my salt tank. A good option for a low price
