Do your homework

I've used this same skimmer, off & on for 12 years & it finally broke. Obviously it can't compete with skimmers valued at $100.00+ but if you are careful, & clean the calcium off each week, it will do the job just fine. Yes, it sticks out the top of your aquarium, so if you use a top, you will need to trip off a section. You also can't deviate from using the wooden air stones.... nothing else will work right, prob why some ppl said it wasn't working at all.
I would recommend this to a friend!

poor construction

Might work well if you can keep it together long enough. Such low quality joint fit that the unit falls apart. The only obvious fix is to glue it, however that will make cleaning a pain. I wouldn't recommend this it is not worth the price unless they make joints tighter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great little skimmer

I bought this for my 30 gallon saltwater setup. (Ignoring what the bad reviews were saying.) I am very pleased with this product. It was cheap, easy to mount, and with a little tinkering with the air valves it works! I have had this unit running for a few days now, and the collection cup is about half full of dark, nasty, skimmate. I would recommend someone try this before paying hundreds of dollars like most units.

PATHETIC

This product was awful and a poor excuse for a skimmer. It produced wet foam ( or no foam at all), was very brittle, and was hard to clean. I had this when i first set up my marine aquarium and it did an amazingly BAD job. If you are thinking of getting this because it is cheap, instead save your money and get a venturi system. I have had animals all my life and have over 35 right now so I am quite capable of knowing the exact needs of what they need.

Better than the SeaClone, this skimmer has everything in the tank-that means no weak connections to come undone and wet the carpet. Works well, is easy to adjust and is not intrusive. The low cost does not hurt either.

Not worth it

The problem with it is that it won't fit in your aquarium unless you take the hood off. It is a cheap product that is not worth it. Save your money and buy the Seaclone or Berlin.

I'm afraid it's too good to be true. The unit seems like it would work well but it's so BIG it didn't even fit between the tank and canopy. I tried it all different ways and couldn't get it to fit. Also, it's really just a bunch of plastic tubes with an airstone. Not worth it in my opinion.
