This protein skimmer has alot of mixed reviews..some good some bad…I currently own a 29gallon Biocube and i needed a protien skimmer that fit my budget which was between $0-$100..after much research i decided to give this skimmer a try to see if it was something of quality or junk…When you first start it up and you calibrate the airvalve control.it will start to fizzle white bubbles really fast..This will continue for the next 2-4 days until you see the skimmer really start working..Gradually you will see those tiny bubbles turn into slow huge foaming bubbles giving off alot of brown and green crap comming from your tank…If calibrated properly it will take about a week or two before you will need to empty the waste chamber…The only downside that i didnt like..was that the airstone has to be changed every month for this skimmer to do what it is suppose to do..Amazon sells them here for $5.95 with free shipping which isnt too bad..Overall i gave this product 5stars because it works and it works well for the money you pay…You just have to be patient and you will see the progress..
Yes, it is not the best skimmer on the market but for the price and it fitting my 29 biocube perfectly it does a pretty good job. It took me about 4 days to get it adjusted properly and requires more adjustments every so often. Keep in mind that protein skimmers need time and adjustments to work properly. This is especially true for the cheaper ones in cost like this one.
We used this skimmer for a few months, but found that it removed very little waste. Instead of waste it removed a tea cup of almost-clear water every few days. The air pump adjustment did very little to make it more efficient. So we determined it was useless, and we would either live without or purchase a better unit.
This product is cheap. It barely pulls any wasted protein out to notice a change without it. It probably easier to just do constant water changes (which I do anyways) instead of trying to place this in the back of the BioCube and moving my heater into the actual tank.
