Review: Incredible value; very quiet and effective - Unless others received a different product or one that was faulty, I don’t understand the negative reviews. This isn’t my main filter (I have a canister on my 40 breeder) so it’s mainly used for biofilm cleaning. I do not have a lid on my tank and it is well stocked and planted, so surface dust, hair, and oil is expected. This cleans it up in minutes. The suctions cups are solid. The floating intake has never stuck. It is so quiet I don’t even know it’s on. I have it set on the lowest setting and on a timer (20 min twice a day) and it has kept the surface noticeably cleaner. I have not had any issues with fish or shrimp being pulled into the filter but only running 40 min per day should hopefully avoid that. I anticipate having to clean the filter often as it is quite small, but the top comes off easily without having to take any suction cups off. I would 100% buy this again and will definitely recommend to anyone with biofilm or dirty water surface issues Update 5/11/2026: three years later and it’s still working great. I have used this as the main filter for a small tank and it has ran continuously for the last 2 years. I have replaced the sponge filter but everything else works like brand new. Fantastic value.
Review: Works well, priced right. - Had a bunch of stuff floating on water surface of my 75g cichlid tank (running a canister filter). This unit cleaned the surface very well after only a few hours. Suction cups are almost TOO god, lol (i had a hard time freeing from glass after i wasnt happy with my initial location i chose...). I do shut it off during feedings, as the surface food accumulated on top of the sponge filter in the unit almost immediately. Dont need to create a new problem... For the price, this unit is a no-brainer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can i get it to stop blowing out too many bubbles?  It is often sucking in too much air and blows so many bubbles it frightens my fish.**
A: I cut the skimmer media in half and sandwiched some filter floss the tweet the two half’s. I haven’t had micro bubbles since. Perhaps it just slowed the flow similar to closing the output slide. I do know it that cleans the water a bit more this way as an added benefit.

**Q: Can the suction cups be replaced?**
A: I don’t see that they can. You can figure out a work around with plasti-molded magents though. Worked just fine on my older skimmer.

**Q: is this unit self adjust for different water level?**
A: About an inch of play really. The plastic top that slides in the top of the unit is about 2 and1/2 inches long, so it can handle an inch fluctuation either way. This didn’t work for me since my sump water level raises about 5 inches when I turn off my return pump for feeding. IMO this is a great in tank skimmer for 75 gallon or less, but not great for a sump in my case.

**Q: can this skimmer replace the built in skimmer on the aquatop Recife 24 gallon aquarium?**
A: This skimmer is not a protein skimmer if you’re using the Aqua top reef as salt water then no this will not do the job

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great skimmer
*by G***I on January 6, 2026*

To be honest, I bought tjis item by mistake think I'm buying a name brand. However, I do not dislike the skimmer. It works very well and clears film on the surface in a minute for a 20g long. 0 noise. Install is easy, just stick it in the tank and plug it in. Value foe money well worth it. Only problem i have is tinkering with the water lvl, especially if you have ta k with the plastic rim. I lucked out as I rub it 1/4 below the rim, otherwise it won't work. The ubit needs to be about 1-2 mm abive the surface for it to work.
