AquaticLife Internal Mini Protein Skimmer 115 Review

AquaticLife Internal Mini Protein Skimmer 115
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After the breaking in period I have been able to get this skimmer to produce reasonably dry, dark skimmate.I don't have to adjust it much and it is surprisingly tolerant of small changes in the water level.It is working well for me in the refugium of a 30 gallon setup that I did not need aggressive skimming for. I don't notice too much of a microbubble problem but I don't have this in the main tank anyway. I think most people looking for a small skimmer for a nano system would be pleased with this product.The only downside is that the water inlet is not near the surface to help with surface skimming, but most skimmers overlook this.

I would like to add that although the description says "hang on tank or suction" it should more accurately say hang in tank or suction as it is an internal, submersible type skimmer.

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.

This is a terrible product, it seemed to be fine within the first few weeks, then it turned into the worst skimmer you can buy. I originally bought one for my 90 gal tank, but soon replaced it with a skimmer that could handle the tank, I now have the SeaClone 100 on my 20 gallon tank with just an undulated triggerfish in. This product is only somewhat useful if you replace the plastic valve they give you with a brass one.

Compact III 5 Stage Review

Compact III 5 Stage
Average Reviews:

I got this for the office to use instead of bottled water.I have one at home (different manuf. but almost same setup) so I know I like the water much better than the tap, or even most bottled water.The installation instructions were a bit skimpy, but if you've done pumbing before and understand the idea of how the 6 filters of this RO systen works, it will not be a problem for you.I actually have an additional whole house filter and water softener, at the water main, before the water gets to my RO system.

In case you don't know the sequence of filtration, here it is: First, the water goes through 3 pre-filters (the clear tubes you see in the picture), then through the Reverse Osmosis filter membrane (above the pre-filters), then through an optional post-filter (to remove any remaining desolved solids), then finally through an activated Charcol filter (to remove any remaining taste/odors in the water), before it is stored in the tank.The tank pressure is very good.It will fill your glass of water in 5-10 sec. (about 2-3 times longer than tap water at full).

I was very surprised how fast this one makes water (a full tank in about 2 hours).Mine at home takes at least 4 times as long.Beware that this system does not include a dispensing faucet, but I got one from the same company with a phone call.I was surprised that the faucet was not included, but they explained that many of their customers use this system to filter water for their fish tank.Ah Hah!

One last thing, almost all RO systems waste a lot of water.Like around 7 gallon for each gallon you actually filter and store.Now that sounds like a lot, but think about how many gallons you actually will use daily, and then you will realize you waste more just flushing the toilet every day!Maybe you will be clever enough to store the post-filter water in a holding tank and use it for watering, washing, cleaning, etc.This water is not dirty water, it just has a higher concentration of desolved solids.

New Aquarium Fish Tank Protein Skimmer Filter W/ Power Head Pump Review

New Aquarium Fish Tank Protein Skimmer Filter W/ Power Head Pump
Average Reviews:

This skimmer will work a little but it will take you awhile to get it right.It is difficult to adjust properly to get it to actually skim and not just fill the collection cup with water.Also it is a "In Tank" skimmer and it takes up a lot of space.I had it running in a 55 gallon tank and it looked terrible.If you are planning on getting a skimmer please, for your and you tanks sake buy the best protein skimmer you can afford, preferably a hang on back (HOB) skimmer.That will save you precious tank space and will look a whole lot better.If you need something quick this will do, but it doesn't work very well and its an eyesore in the tank.
