This Protein Skimmer was designed for saltwater aquariums between 5 and 20 US Gal (20 and 80 L). Review: Super quiet and great performance--if you install it correctly! - I gave this 5 stars, because as nano skimmers go (and I've tried 4) this one is the absolute best, even if it took a while to adjust, and even though I made a few mistakes at first. So I'm grading on a curve :) FIRST: Don't make the same mistake I did! I have a Fluval Evo 13.5, so I read the instructions too quickly and thought I didn't have to install the brackets that hold the skimmer front and back housings together (the front and back of the skimmer split open so you can clean it easily) because it was already sized perfectly for my back chamber. But, NOT installing these pieces made the skimmer really loud because the skimmer pump caused those pieces to vibrate against each other. Once I realized the issue, it was too late; I had already thrown the other extra pieces away. So I ordered another one, just to get those two pieces--they're that important! Once installed, the skimmer quieted way, way down, and in about 2 weeks, it got even quieter when it broke in (it's at about 15db, 4 feet away, measured with an app on my phone). One thing to tweak, though, is to make sure the skimmer is seated as far back against the tank's back glass as possible (away from the tank's display/overflow), so the front inlet has enough space to draw in water from the tank's overflow. I used a piece of air tubing and slid it in between the skimmer and the front of that back chamber, just to push the skimmer away from the tank overflow. That was the trick to get it to start skimming properly. Once I further tweaked water level in the chamber (the largest knob on the top) and opened the air to about 80% open (the smallest knob on the top), it skimmed super efficiently, was quiet, and I've been super happy with it. [Hack: to set the air at the right level, close the small knob all the way counter clockwise, then open it clockwise about 2-3 twists of your fingers.] You'll want the water level/surface turbulation happening right at the bottom of the collection cup. If the tribulation is happening IN the collection cup chamber, it's too high and you'll skim too wet, and it will probably overflow in no time; back it down so the water line/turbulation is exactly level with the bottom of that cup. It won't produce skimmate immediately. Give it a few hours to start producing those large bubbles and skimmate). The hardest part was getting it dialed it. But once that's done, you don't need to touch it again. When you do water changes or pour something in your tank, it will stop skimming for a bit--don't touch the dials! It will start producing skimmate again in couple of hours. Once you've got it dialed in, you'll be impressed. I sure am. Review: Would 0 star this if I could. - I received one of these brand-new. It stopped working within two months. I contacted the company and they provided instruction for taking apart and cleaning the unit, which I followed to a T. Still completely dead -- nothing happens when plugged in. Since it was a gift (bought from desertcart), I don't have the receipt, etc. to return it and getting it would be kind of awkward. I figured I'd chalk my initial experience up to bad luck and buy a replacement. They're out of stock, but desertcart had one listed as used in "Like New" condition. Per desertcart, "Like New" means "An item in perfect working condition, the packaging may bear some damage. The item fully functions, and all its essential accessories are complete." Sounds okay, right? The unit sent... was not this. It arrived semi-assembled, missing a part, in a worn, filthy ziplock bag. The unit itself was clearly well-used: crusted over in salt, dried algae, and who knows what sort of contaminants. The kicker? Plugged in, it was just as dead as my original product. I'm frustrated as heck that desertcart sent me a rotten "Like New" item that I now have to spend time and resources returning. I'm also *extremely* skeptical of this product -- my new one failed fast, and clearly the replacement failed while with its prior owner. My reef tank is too precious for sub-standard gear. Just annoyance on annoyance, really. Look elsewhere. ## Features - 32 needle-wheel impeller increases air-to-water contact ratio, creating ideal bubble size for maximum protein collection - Adjustable flow regulators control amount of air entering reaction chamber to produce perfect amount of "skimmate" - Adjustable water-level control valve regulates skimming performance - Versatile mounting options - adjustable hanging bracket and suction cups included - Large reaction chamber mixes air and water effectively to remove organic waste from water molecules ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MTEYI92 | | ASIN | B01MTEYI92 | | Best Sellers Rank | #91,984 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #1,573 in Aquarium Filter Accessories | | Brand Name | Fluval | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars (570) | | Date First Available | January 31, 2017 | | Date First Available | January 31, 2017 | | Directions | The Fluval Sea Mini Skimmer is designed to be positioned inside the aquarium by the use of the suction cup housing clips and the hanging bracket. | | Included Components | Protein Skimmer | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 4.3 x 5 x 10 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 9.92 x 5.51 x 4.17 inches | | Item Weight | 1.85 pounds | | Item model number | 14324 | | Item model number | 14324 | | Manufacturer | Rolf C.

The top is about 2 or 3 inches aquare. **Q: Why does it say that it ships within 1-2 months?** A: we ship in one day not sure what you seeing **Q: Does it fit the Fluval Flex 15?** A: I am waiting for mine to arrive, I bought mine with the Fluval Flex 15G in mind which is 100% compatible with the PS2 skimmer. The Evo, Flex and one other model are the same catergory for certain accessories. **Q: Can you put this skimmer in a sump?** A: You could, if you have about 9 inches of water in the sump. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super quiet and great performance--if you install it correctly! *by J***N on May 21, 2020* I gave this 5 stars, because as nano skimmers go (and I've tried 4) this one is the absolute best, even if it took a while to adjust, and even though I made a few mistakes at first.
