Requires time to kick in... by KHOI NGUYEN Experience Level: Intermediate Posted on 5/2/2009 from PLANO, TX UNITED STATES Comments: I rated this mini protein skimmer 5 stars to offset the 1 star rating given by another reviewer simply because it does not fit their Aquapod. You should review a product based on it's overall performance, not because it is simply non-compatible with your tank. In actuality I would give this skimmer 4 stars. Anyways, I was rather skeptical of this skimmer when I first installed it in the back of my JBJ 24 gallon nano cube, almost wondering if the skimmer worked at all or if the product was defective. It barely produced any bubbles regardless of how I adjusted the knob, and it was annoyingly loud. Since it came with a 1 year warranty, I thought "what the hell, i'll give it some time before I dismiss it as broken or ineffective". Turns out that after 2 weeks of leaving the POS (or so I thought at the time) mini skimmer on, it finally started working properly and I can now see a ton of bubbles filling the collection cup, in addition to it being practically silent after I close my hood. Word of warning though, this skimmer will be a very tight fit on most nano cubes, just as the other reviewer with the Aquapod mentioned having difficulties fitting it into their tank. I ended up not being able to use the mounting brackets it came with because the dimensions of the skimmer was practically flush with the back wall of my nano cube where my filtration was (I had to bend back the plastic wall to fit the skimmer in!) Also, having the knob adjustment for the bubbles next to the collection cup is a major design flaw, making it a pain to turn it with your fingers if they're wet from messing with your tank. I find it best to simply adjust the knob after removing the collection cup rather than trying to grip it with the cup still on and using slippery fingers in such a confined space. Initially, I would have said that this skimmer was not worth the money because of how disappointing it's performance was. However, now that I gave it some time to kick in, I am quite satisfied :) Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Now it is working great. Easy to make adjustments to. Since it started working the only thing I've done is empty the cup. The only thing I would change is the collection cup. I would add a connector for a hose so the cup could drain into a larger container. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
