One of the best skimmers out there
There are many factors to determine the best skimmer, but for my setup it proves to be the best I have ever owned. Solid construction with fantastic efficiency. Within hours I had almost half a cup of skim mate. Other reviews suggest the packaging was not good at all but I found that the packaging was fantastic? The actual box containing the skimmer was plastic wrapped with another box that had material to cushion and keep it from moving. This skimmer is virtually silent, rubber feet on bottom of skimmer allow no vibration and motor is quiet as can be. As far as water sensitivity, you will not have a problem as long as you have a lid on your aquarium. Water loss is normal and does fine unless water is rapidly lost at abnormal rate. And if you have a lid on your sump, adjustments to the skimmer will be bare minimal. This skimmer is well worth the price.
