This is a really well made, cheap little surface skimmer from All Pond Solutions that I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a ready made surface skimmer to remove dust and scum from the water surface of an aquarium. APS say it is suitable for a tank up to 350 litres but I can see no reason why it wouldn't keep the surface of a larger tank clear since the effectiveness will ultimately depend on tank shape, water surface area and the currents in water created by the main tank filter.

Even the extreme scum layer that I had encouraged to build up for testing purposes was no match for this little skimmer and as it was under £10 delivered it seems senseless wasting time and money to make a DIY aquarium skimmer.

This skimmer is a SURFACE skimmer, not a PROTEIN skimmer so its purpose is to remove anything which settles on the water surface, keeping it clear and allowing for good gaseous exchange between the water of the aquarium and the atmosphere.
I will cover protein skimmers in a separate video. 

Thanks for watching, liking and sharing.
