Product Description

Protein skimmer
Nano protein skimmer

mini protein skimmer
Tips
  • The recommended water depth is 7-8 inches.
  • A new skimmer usually takes 1 or 2 weeks to break in.
  • It is recommended to clean the pump every 1 or 2 months.
  • This skimmer is NOT suggested to be used in nano aquariums.

POINTS FOR ATTENTION

CHECK THE SIZE OF YOUR AQUARIUM AND THE DIMENSIONS OF THIS SKIMMER PLEASE BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER.

  • This skimmer is for Hang-on use ONLY.
  • NOT for rimmed tanks
  • It can be hanged either on the aquarium or the sump.
  • But it can't stand in the sump on its bottom.
  • The skimmer body is submerged in water, NOT outside the aquarium.
  • Not only the pump but also the skimmer body should be submerged in water.
  • It will take space in the aquarium if there's no hang-on filtering system at the back of the tank.
  • As it's not a big skimmer, the volume of the reaction chamber is limited, patience is needed while adjusting to achieve the best effect.

Awesome protein skimmer for medium sized tanks!
5 out of 5 stars
Awesome protein skimmer for medium sized tanks!
I own and operate a local youth facility. We have a 65 gallon reef located in the lobby area and some much larger tanks throughout the facility. We ordered this protein skimmer specifically for the compact size and controllable DC pump.This protein skimmer is replacing an old Coralife protein skimmer in a 65 gallon reef tank.Packaging - The protein skimmer was packaged extremely well and arrived promptly via Prime shipping. Provided in the packaging is the skimmer body, the collection cup and lid, waste valve, the pump, the controller, the power adapter, a soft air line, a soft waste disposal line, noise reduction feet, plastic mounting screws, and adjustable mounting bracket. All items were individually wrapped and packed firmly into a foam shock absorbing container that fit into the cardboard display box.Assembly - I had no issues in assembling the protein skimmer. It was pretty straightforward. The collection cup and lid simply twist locked into the skimmer body with secure tight seal. The pump output slid directly into the bottom of the skimmer body. The air line slid into the outlet located on the collection cup and connected directly to the intake of the pump. The waste line and valve connected to the outlet of the collection cup. The pump attached to the controller with a water resistant fitting that screwed firmly into place locking in an O ring to shield the connection from water. The power adapter plugged in directly to the top of the controller. I was very pleased with the ease of assembly.Installation - Upon removing the old protein skimmer, I was able to simply place the new skimmer into the chamber next to the systems roller mat. I was able to adjust the height of the water in the skimmer using the adjustable sliding mounting bracket that is attached to the skimmer body and then secured it in place with the plastic screws provided. The water outlet is adjustable with a simple turn of the skimmer body. I was able to adjust the amount of air coming into the pumps venturi by loosening a plastic screw located on the collection cup lid and moving the air intake slider slightly. The power of the pump is easily adjusted by pressing the intensity button with a power range of 1-10. The pumps power cable was plenty long enough to run the cabling to the far end of the aquarium cabinet where my other controllers are mounted. All that is left to do is simply plug it in. Installation was completed in under 10 minutes.Operation - The protein skimmer runs completely silent. I was surprised at how quiet it is. It is definitely better than the airy gurgling sound of my old protein skimmer. Tuning was simple. I run the skimmer at a power of 7 with full air and about a 10% decrease in water outlet from the skimmer body. The controller has a feed timer as well that is convenient especially if you were to have the pump located in the display (my skimmer is located in my sump). I was amazed to see that the skimmer had started producing dark skimmate so quickly. After the skimmer has had time to set in I will adjust the settings to run dry skimmate. Overall I am extremely happy with the operation of the skimmer!This protein skimmer is everything that I was looking for in a top quality product. Very pleased with my purchase! I highly recommend!

  • Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2024
    I waited a week to see how the skimmer performed to write a review. The thing works great and I have no complaints. The collection cup is on the smaller size but with the drain line you can easily leave it open to drain into another disposal container.

    Out of the box it was easy to assemble, but I have a few years experience in saltwater setups. The unit felt sturdy, the collection cup twist locks on top and has a drain line which is important if your running a large bio load.

    I'm using it on a 40 breeder with a 20 long sump. The skimmer won't hang on the side and as per the description it's for a rimless tank or sump. But I simply 3D printed a mount for it.

    I'm impressed with the little skimmer, cost comparison to other name brand skimmers, it does the same job at a fraction of the cost.

    The DC control means you can use it to help dial in the skimmer which makes tuning so much easier. I had it skimming well in just a few days, minimal break in time.

    I would recommend anyone needing a skimmer to go with this over the more expensive units.

    I'll update this review if anything else pops up down the road.

    As the title says. It works great skimming, but what’s the point if the hose falls off and the waste dumps right back into the tank? It’s too slippery, the hose is too big and it falls off every single time you try to open the valve and drain it. Highly disappointed in that. Adjustments are hit and miss also. But once you dial it in the skimmer works great.

    I’m using this skimmer in the back chamber of a larger all-in-one tank (80g) with a pretty high bio load. The skimmer fits perfectly, which is awesome considering how difficult it is to find skimmers that fit in rear chambers. No matter how wet or dry you want your skimmate, this thing skims well and starts producing quickly.

    Pros:
    - well made
    - well packaged
    - pump controller is fantastic
    - makes plenty of skim
    - quickly begins to “break in”
    - quiet and effective skimmer
    - having owned all the big named skimmers over the years, this is great value.
    - built in drainage line is a nice feature.

    Cons:

    - dialing in the water level will take a bit of patience as the skimmer breaks in. The controllable pump is fantastic for making adjustments, but adjusting the flow by turning the base can be a little tricky.

    Overall, this is great value for the money, and I’ve already recommended this skimmer to several friends setting up new systems.

    This skimmer has the potential to be great but unfortunately it constantly stops often and throws the E6 error code. Very frustrating!
    I tried to take apart and clean making sure everything was put together properly but it still stops with e6 code every hour or so. I even ordered another skimmer thinking the first was just a bad pump, Nope! Second one did the same thing.
    I even tried putting the skimmer in a 5 gallon bucket with fresh mix of saltwater and it did the same thing, error code E6.
    I tried purchasing the more expensive Mode aquariums cad lights skimmer which is the exact same skimmer but with a pump that has no controller. That skimmer didn’t have the pump trouble but with no way to control the pump the skimmer always skimmed too wet no matter water height or air intake changed. So after 3 skimmers, this one is getting returned. Hope this review helps someone before they purchase and get to have all the trouble.

    This skimmer is fantastic. During setup I think I exclaimed “oh wow!” and “oh that’s cool!” a dozen times. I’m used to old-school cheapie skimmers in previous reef keeping experiences and I can tell you this one is way beyond that in functionality, ease of use, quality of materials, and omg it’s SO QUIET!!! I’m very pleased. I was skeptical and going to purchase the popular expensive brand out right now but decided to take the chance here and invest more into other start up areas. So glad we did!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great AIO Solution - Efficient and quiet. Fits the Innovative Marine AIO 50
    Reviewed in Canada on June 4, 2023
    Skimmer came well packaged in closed cell foam. Individually wrapped pieces. As with all equipment a good rinse and wipe down should be conducted before use. There was some sticky residue from the plastic wrap present on the plastic.

    With normal skimmer installations I usually 'break it in' with some dirty tank water and vinegar. It helps build up a bacteria film in the skimmer which helps with bubble production. Do this for at least 12-24 hours prior to skimmer installation.

    To fit in the filter compartment of the Innovative Marine AIO 50, I had to remove the 2 levelling screws on the back of the unit which wouldn't be used anyways since it's a snug fit and the hang on bracket isn't used.

    For the first day or two, set the skimmer on low, and let it break in further before really trying to dial in the skimmer. Within a day, it was producing a decent wet skimmate. The air intake adjustment didn't seem to do much, but for a simple drop in solution, the pump intensity is all the dialing one should need with such a skimmer.

    Quite impressed with this IOAOI Skimmer!
