Review: 10/10 skimmer. Very powerful yet quiet. - This skimmer is a beast! I’m using it in an IM Nuvo Fusion Pro 40 gallon. It fits perfectly in the chamber between the return and the overflow, albeit minus the hanging bracket which is not needed because the chamber is the perfect depth. This is an upgrade from the Fiji Cube Nano Skimmer which constantly overflowed when water levels changed, even when I activated feed mode. The IOAIO sits much higher with the top of the vortex chamber well above the normal water level. I love that it has both an air intake adjustment as well as vortex chamber water level adjustment. This made fine tuning it a breeze. In addition is has a wave mode, constant mode, and feed mode plus 10 levels of speed. I’m running it on speed 5 constant with the vortex chamber just slightly open and air intake fully open. I get an amazing bubble column and I can watch the denser bubbles push towards the top until they overflow into the cup. Within a few hours of installing I had a nice brown sludge in the collection cup. I haven’t had to mess with the setting much at all. It’s extremely quiet compared to my old skimmer. The collection cup is so big I’m not even sure I need to use the drain valve but I love that it has one as my old skimmer did not and constantly overflowed. Putting it together was incredibly simple. It seems very sturdy and holds together well. Removing the collection cup to empty it is very easy. This is a 10 out of 10 skimmer. I wish they made a smaller version for nano tanks.
Review: 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% better than OEM IM
*by B***. on September 28, 2025*

IM50 Lagoon. Very Quiet! Fits perfect on left side compartment 2 , where original IM medium skimmer fits. Two days in nice dark skimming. The pump is the most impressive 3 times the size of OEM IM. I feel this is doing such a better job! The only issue is the air line has to be disconnected to clean and empty the collection up well. Only reason for the four stars. Otherwise I would buy all day long. Great skimmer.
