Review: Great Little Protein Skimmer - I have this skimmer in my Biocube 32 and it works 10 times better than the Tunze I had in the middle section previously. I run and an In-Tank mod also in the middle chamber with filter floss and media, but the skimmer easily fits next to that. It is easy to dial in skimmer and within 24 hours it was pulling out brownish gunk. You have to lower the water level in middle chamber to about 1/2 way down for it to work well, which also allows you to CLOSE THE HOOD! I placed the magnet to hold it in place on the divider between middle chamber and return pump chamber. Definitely worth the money.
Review: Complete Junk out of the box! - Great way to kill a brand Ice Cap. Product arrived without any instructions. Motor does not properly fit to the bottom of the skimmer and falls out constantly. Must be modified or glued in to work. The hoses are the same size as the barb on the motor. Again, had to be modified out of the box to get it to work. The mounting bracket DOES NOT FIT INNOVATIVE MARINE AIO TANKS, unless you leave the screw out that suspends the skimmer. After all this, plugged it in and I cannot believe how loud it is. Certainly a combination of crappy mounting, and a non-fitting motor, and overall design. Super janky. This thing is going back in the box. Buyer be warned.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Update: Great skimmer.
*by J***A on February 20, 2019*

Update: After a little more than a week of use I have upgraded the review to 5 starts. The skimmer is very quiet now, and producing dark skimmate. I am very happy how it is performing. Below is my first review. The skimmer looks of very good craftsmanship, however, the one I got is loud. I know every skimmer is different and while some may break in in one or two days, others may take weeks. It is producing a good amount of micro bubbles and none scaping the body of the skimmer. I’ll wait at least a week and see if it quiets down, if it doesn’t, I may return it and go back to my DIY air driven protein skimmer. I have it on a IM Nuvo 20.
