Cheap, does not work and expels tons of micro-bubbles into the tank. never skimmed an once of anything all the bubbles went out into the tank not up to skim!!
THis product is made very poorly and works very poorly. It is difficult to clean. It requires constant tlc just to get it to function. it is made so poorly that parts of it are ziptied together. Do not buy this even as a starter skimmer.
I replaced a cheap Current USA Fission Protein Skimmer with what I now see is this cheap Visijet skimmer. What do you get for the price? A clunky skimmer with absolutely the worst set of instructions I’ve ever seen. The first step asks you to verify that all the parts are present. How does one do this since the instructions don’t provide a parts list! Next step? Tells you in a summary fashion “to assemble the skimmer as displayed in the figure” What figure? The one that shows a completely assembled skimmer? Or the one that shows a blow out of the only intact, pre-assembled part of the skimmer? You can guess where some of the parts go but clearly some of them are inserted inside others and you have no real idea how. Utterly ridiculous!
To top it off, the tubing included in the package is way, way too small for the attachments. I had to use spare tubing I had on hand. As the other reviewer notes, all the skimmer does is spit out micro bubbles; it does’nt do much else.
Cheap is as cheap does. I recommend you choose a different product.
Ultimately you get what you pay for. In this case you get even less. The one I got made a lot of bubbles which my fish enjoyed swimming through. That’s the only positive I have for it.
It’s made of cheap materials. It didn’t hold together well. It was a pain to adjust. Not that adjusting it made a difference. The assembly instructions were horrendous.
In short: Don’t buy!
This unit never produced one drop of skimmate. It never even came close. I replaced it very quickly. This unit was a waste of money.
