Review: Great surface skimmer - not sure why the mixed reviews. - Currently run a 450litre planted aquarium, alongside a nano tank. The 450litre runs two filters, a Fluval FX4 & a JBL E1501 with a prefilter inline. Up until recently I've been using a small APS 300lph surface skimmer but it just hasn't been able to skim off the surface quick enough and have been finding a thin layer of film build up on the waters surface. Having looked about I purchased this skimmer which has mixed reviews. I liked the idea that I could run it off of the standard pipes for my e1501 canister. The skimmer came, no instructions inside but basic ones on the box, it's not rocket science and took less than two minutes to position in the tank, remove my existing inlet and put this in place. It took abit of fiddling with the red removable adjuster to decide how much flow I wanted through the skimmer Vs the inlet under the water in the tank. I opted for a 50/50 split. So far I am very happy, no surface scum and the skimmers surface is large enough to draw water from the entirety of the tank. Quaility is fine, I'm not sure what people are expecting? Its essentially a large filter inlet with built in skimmer. Very good to be honest. Price point is slightly high for what it is, but not far off. I think £15 or there abouts would be more reasonable but you're paying for the brand name. Worth a buy, just make sure you have a canister that has enough flow.
Review: Brilliant product, excellent value. - Easy to install and set up. Quality product does exactly what it needs to in conjunction with a 1000 lph external filter, and i could still use the spray bar with no issues.

It's a very nice well made surface skimmer that does a brilliant job. The 4 starts is because is a little bit bulky for what it is.
