A small skimmer with some of the great features found in larger skimmers. Equipped with bubble diffuser, solid mounting bracket, easy to use raiser pipe to control the internal water level in the skimmer and all in a small footprint. These work well in small wet/dry sumps, in nano tank overflows and in display aquariums.
Rated for aquariums up to 25 Gallons
Powered by: OTP 200s pinwheel pump
Body: 2" | Footprint: 4" x 2.4" | Height: 11"
Features
Small Footrint
Positionable Mounting Bracket
Easy to Remove Collection Cup
The 4" chamber in either tank may barely fit the skimmer, which is also 4" wide. The 2.97" width of the chamber will fit the 2.4" width of the skimmer. Note that trying to fit the skimmer against the tank walls will definitely cause vibrations, though.

Q
Break in period
What is the break in period for this skimmer? Looking at setting up a 10 gallon nano and was wondering how long it took to break in and tune.
PROS
Small enough to fit into back chamber of IM fusion 25. (if you twist the tubes a bit)
CONS
Collection cup cracked soon after first use. Pump could have been better - it kept falling out , did not make enough skim and made a clicking noise.
REVIEW
Clear plastic meant lots of algae growth in tubes.
In my experience it is difficult to find a nano skimmer that works well. I have also learned throughout my years that protein skimmers seem to break or fail very frequently.

In my experience it is difficult to find a nano skimmer that works well. I have also learned throughout my years that protein skimmers seem to break or fail very frequently. I keep waiting for this skimmer to break but it keeps working great. This is one of the best investments that I have made for my 30 gal. tank. If you need a nano skimmer for 30 gallons or less (my tank is 30 gal) don't waste your time or money with any others, this protein skimmer works great. My only minor complaint is that it is a little loud, but I put an air silencer on mine and it is fine. I hope this helps.Hide

Quality: It seems pretty well built. I haven't thrown it around my house, but it seems sturdy.
Performance: It has been producing decent skimmate. I ran into an issue with it running too wet though. I have been emptying the collection cup about every 20 hours due to it being full. The valve was running at full open so it shouldn't be running wet. I fixed this by cutting a centimeter off of the long piece of acrylic pipe on the outlet. Now, it's not running so wet. It's making a darker skimmate in the cup.
Value: As someone that builds most things that I use, this is one product that I just outright purchased. For the price, it does a bang-up job.
Overall: Trim the long outlet pip down to lower the level in the chamber and you will have a better skimmer. Overall, it exceeds what should be expected of it.Hide
