I could not be more pleased with this product. I owned a pet store many years ago anf had my doubts about a hang on tank skimmer. Opted for this one based on it's construction. Hooked it up. Cleaned up my mess because I had failed to ensure proper oring placement....put it together right and it took off and has been skimming away ever since. Would recommend it to customers.

I have had this product and never had a problem, it skims perfect. I love this product... I just wish they made it for a larger tank. I have a new protein skimmer from a different brand and the new one sucks and it was more money! Overall this product worked great for the appropriate size and would definitely recommend this product to a friend.

Works great I'm using it on a 75 gallon tank I'm very satisfied with it. It is a little loud but no big deal.

While this skimmer looks great, makes good froth, and removes a good amount of protein, beware... If you over-generate bubbles, the collection cup will fill, and it will spill out of the edge where the lid clips on both at the front and the back, and your carpet will get wet.

If you like the "delux upgrade" parts, beware... Fill the media container with something that will eventually clog and reduce flow, and this section of the pump will fill above the lip line below the collection cup (a mere 1/2" or so), and water will spill out, making your carpet wet.

If you are lucky and have correctly adjusted the syphoning intake, the water loss will be limited to a few gallons and the pump will cease taking in water as the water level drops in the tank.

This is not well engineered.
