Next product in the deep dive review in the full Maxspect Jump range (the budget friendly reefing range from Maxspect) is the highly anticipated Jump Skimmer.
High quality acrylic, dual wheel - dual intake, DC controllable pump, auto shut off valve and the list goes on. This is one feature packed Skimmer, but what's it perform like?
I hope I have gone over all of the things you wanted covered on this skimmer, but if not - let me know in the comments and I'll see if I can answer it for you!

They knew this was a disaster and that is why this new model. This is the second soaking I have taken by the company and should of known better the first time. Bought four of their LED overhead lights for my 180 reef and they self destructed in under two years old. The wire was too small inside and all was crimped so terrible was insane. 1200.00 lost there.
