Review: Very nice! - Great little skimmer, fits perfectly in the back of my AIO chamber and started skimming excess nutrients within 24 hours. A little tricky to adjust and get set where you want it but once you do, works great. Love the feed mode. The only thing I would change is where the collection cup could come off without detaching the airline, however there is a waste tube at the bottom of cup to make for easy emptying into a container. Also within 48 hours or so the micro bubbles were almost non existent. Video is within 24 hours of set up so still breaking in. Great skimmer and great customer service!
Review: Its A Workhorse - A year later and it still is running strong. Easy to clean and works efficiently. Ive been running 24/7 and she keeps my water clear and the quality high. Super easy to set up and maintenance. It is pretty tall but worth it for any size sump, just be sure to measure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little skimmer
*by S***3 on August 16, 2024*

I waited a week to see how the skimmer performed to write a review. The thing works great and I have no complaints. The collection cup is on the smaller size but with the drain line you can easily leave it open to drain into another disposal container. Out of the box it was easy to assemble, but I have a few years experience in saltwater setups. The unit felt sturdy, the collection cup twist locks on top and has a drain line which is important if your running a large bio load. I'm using it on a 40 breeder with a 20 long sump. The skimmer won't hang on the side and as per the description it's for a rimless tank or sump. But I simply 3D printed a mount for it. I'm impressed with the little skimmer, cost comparison to other name brand skimmers, it does the same job at a fraction of the cost. The DC control means you can use it to help dial in the skimmer which makes tuning so much easier. I had it skimming well in just a few days, minimal break in time. I would recommend anyone needing a skimmer to go with this over the more expensive units. I'll update this review if anything else pops up down the road.
