Description

The Bak-Pak Pre-skimmer fits around the powerhead and skims water from the surface of the aquarium where wastes accumulate. The Pre-skimmer makes the Bak-Pak even more efficient. Customer Reviews Write a review 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Great Two changes necessary by BENJAMIN LIPMAN Experience Level: Expert Posted on 11/30/2007 from DENVER, CO UNITED STATES Comments: I've been using the Bak-Pak pre-skimmer for two years. It is a necessary addition to the skilter because it skims off the surface water, something the skilter will not do on it own. It works great, but needs two modifications. The first would be to remove the foam that covers the intake and replace it with a plastic slit system. The foam gets dirty quickly and plugs up. Leaving the intake open completely means fish can get sucked in to the pre-skimmer. I've had this happen. Nothing happend to the fish, but you have to get them out. Second, the threads that hold the screw, which holds the pre-skimmer in place, wore down. This happened after about two years and is the reason I had to buy another. A solution would be a plastic wedge inside the box that could press up against the pump, allowing for verticle movement of the intake. This shouldn't wear down after two years. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Note: the 2 small sides are now clear plexiglass so you can see the water level inside the box. I had to drill & tap another hole b/c I wanted it to feed from left side. Works awesome when the water level is just right. I had the oil slick on my reef tank and over night it was crystal clear! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
