I undesrtand how salt water skimmer works, but this skimmer how can it keep the protein and oil film inside the filter?

@@Noeman2009this is not a protein skimmer it’s just a surface skimmer. Surface particulates get caught in the foam and the oil is remixed into the water so stays suspended better.

@@pascal590 Did you mean the oil will be back at the surface again? My Discus tank (planted tank) shows oil film and bubbles on the surface, trying to find an answer if this kind of a surface skimmer will solve or reduce it. Oh thank for the explanation, just don't understand fully.

I thought undergravel wasn't so good anymore be cause you want an anaerobic layer of sand at the bottom for the good stuff to happen

​@@rajgill7576 almost nobody does that style of tank tho. Just like nobody does undergravel lol. And when I say nobody does deep substrate tanks, I don't really mean nobody, but it's a negligable amount. And there are other ways to do it, it's not the one correct way to do stuff. For instance aquasoil achieves the same type of anaerobic conditions inside each ball. The more you know!

Lol, you have no fvcking clue what you're talking about do you? The more you know my @ss 😂

They've work well so far 😊

@@AQUAPROS just saw the price..... WOWSERS !!!

In saltwater tank overflow box does the job of surface skimming also You don't need additional surface skimmer Rather you need a protein skimmer to remove organic wastes

What are you on about lad?

AT ALL COSTS!!! 🤪😎😎

I like it :) It looks cute and it provides cover for fish near surface like Gourami. It's also great at removing excess nutrients from the water. Just take some out with a net when it grows too much and/or use a feeding ring.

Or even better to have the water clean and algae never seen 😊

😊😊水質好，不會有髒水，吹下面幫手吹起魚屎😂😂

I feel ya, the small one is about the same cost as the Ehiem that everyone loves, but this big one is like 60 bucks 🤪

Lol fr though they overprice everything in the aquarium hobby because they can like why am I paying 300 to collect poop from the water surface and why am I paying 500 for a decent light😂

@@artistic6499 no fr lighting is stupiddddd expensive

​@@AUSTIN-tw5hbfr man often the only thing stopping me from getting another tank is the price of plant lights

I agree lighting is expensive. I have been using these like 16" led lights from Lowes and it grows the plants well and only cost like $20

Buyers guide coming soon! 🤤

No - it is not a filter for removing tannins. What it is designed for is to remove the build up of protein from the surface of the tank water which forms an oil slick and depletes a healthy gas exchange between oxygen in and CO2 out. This skimmer essentially supports oxygenation of the water in addition to making the water surface healthy with no scum/oil build up so it looks nicer too. A lot of people use skimmers instead of an air pump in home aquariums as they run much quiter whilst producing the same effect. The most common solution for removing tannins is to increase the amount of carbon in your filter.

I didn’t know they have magnetic ones. Do they have filters with magnets as well?

@@Txnkid76 the Sicce shark pro comes with magnets. It’s not a skimmer though.

@@onlywei Thanks!

Same, keeps my water quality good and makes my tetras less nervous (I only have a few because it’s a small tank)

You could possibly add something to redirect the flow, but I haven't tried it and it probably won't look as nice if you aren't crafty

look into the tidal HOB filters. they have a built in skimmer and the water goes back out through the top of your tank. it’s actually really cool. it’s an expensive filter but definitely worth it

It pushes the oil down into the water column away from the surface then, technically, your filter should remove the oil from the water column. By continuously skimming the surface the oil will not reappear. The smaller 350 model skims up to 400 litres (105 US gallons) of water an hour!

@@silverfox74 I bought a skimmer and sure enough you were right

水流向下走回濾水器，是一個循環😮
