5.0 out of 5 stars Just Buy It
Size: 40 GallonVerified PurchaseI was hesitant to purchase being below 4 stars, but reading through some of the reviews ending up selling me.
This is my first tank and was looking for something simple and effective without have to go through a whole sump setup on a 40 gallon tank, we'll save that project for when I eventually upgrade.
The skimmer works great, took a few days to workout the setup and the right level of the container on top but now that I have it nailed down it is super effective. My water looks crystal clear as you can tell be the pictures which is on day 6 of having this running.
The noise level is not noticeable in my opinion, blends in with my filter running.
The bubbles were quite a bit to start, but they have subsided considerably.
The containment tank on top I basically have the rubber o ring at the very bottom of it so it sits high, if I have it moved up any higher the container will fill up quickly with water. That piece took me some trial and error to figure out.

4.0 out of 5 stars It works and is adjustable but the build quality is mediocre
Size: 40 GallonVerified PurchaseI am using this for a 50 gallon fish only aquarium- when I opened it from the box the clear plastic top was broken off the black plastic base - I can repair with silicone sealant etc. the device works just have to adjust water level and height of the tray to collect skimmed proteins. It’s worth it. Works well and much less than competitors

3.0 out of 5 stars Update: works great until it doesn’t
Size: 40 GallonVerified PurchasePut one on a 40 breeder and is skims very well. Micro bubbles were gone within 2 hrs of use. Only bad thing is wish they made one that goes up to 60 breeder as I will be upgrading to that soon. So I guess will need to look for a new one.
Update: Bought this in February and now is October. Worked great while it lasted but now motor stopped working, I have cleaned unit but still no go. Not sure how to get a hold of manufacturer for warranty.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor manufacturing, quality control, and packaging
Size: 40 GallonVerified PurchaseI've ordered two of these units now both of them came broken in the same way, in the same spot it's apparently a poor manufacturing, packaging, possibly quality control problem because the top acrylic for the skimmer collection cup is not adhered properly to the top of the unit. it looks like whatever bonding adhesive they're using for the acrylic isn't adhering to the plastic top correctly. Not even sure if it'll even work or not

5.0 out of 5 stars 40 gal skimmer
Size: 40 GallonVerified PurchaseIf you want a skimmer that doesn’t leak and spill water everywhere, I would get this! It’s relatively affordable and gives great skimmate!
I switched out my macro aqua skimmer for this one as every time I turn on the skimmer, it would overflow leaving puddles of water on the floor, with this skimmer in particular you can control it with the rubber band it comes with allowing you to have a dry or wet skim, does take up a bit of real estate in the tank, however if you want something you can plug in and forget I would get this, I change the suction cup every 2 to 3 days
