So I ended up picking up this skimmer and it’s… flawless. Literally everything you could want a skimmer to be. I run it 24/7 and there is absolutely nothing I’d change about it.
@@Noeman2009this is not a protein skimmer it’s just a surface skimmer. Surface particulates get caught in the foam and the oil is remixed into the water so stays suspended better.
@@pascal590 Did you mean the oil will be back at the surface again? My Discus tank (planted tank) shows oil film and bubbles on the surface, trying to find an answer if this kind of a surface skimmer will solve or reduce it. Oh thank for the explanation, just don't understand fully.
@@rajgill7576 almost nobody does that style of tank tho. Just like nobody does undergravel lol. And when I say nobody does deep substrate tanks, I don't really mean nobody, but it's a negligable amount. And there are other ways to do it, it's not the one correct way to do stuff. For instance aquasoil achieves the same type of anaerobic conditions inside each ball. The more you know!
The Eheim Skim350 is better as this one from oase in my opinien. This oase has indeed the outflow downwards, eheim not and for the eheim you can also buy an addon for the inflow to keep out small fish and large particles.
I love the look of this. I think or skimmers as something for drilled tanks, or salt water I think this is going to be bought on my next trip to my LFS
In saltwater tank overflow box does the job of surface skimming also You don't need additional surface skimmer Rather you need a protein skimmer to remove organic wastes
this seems like the perfect thing for my turtle tub usually i feed them and there’s some pellets left over from just not being as hungry or whatever and this would come in handy just curious how fast it fills up? like do i gotta clean it often or? i usually do a full tank cleaning once a month and i dont mind weekly cleanings of this thing but i dont wanna do it daily lol
Or you could buy the skimmer version of steel outlet pipe then the filter removes the film/scum instead of blowing it back into the tank so your skimmer is always working with you instead of against you like your video is.. skimmers need to be attached to the filter to work properly/efficiently.
Lol fr though they overprice everything in the aquarium hobby because they can like why am I paying 300 to collect poop from the water surface and why am I paying 500 for a decent light😂
I hope they’re using this the next time @Exxon or @BP makes a mess. Seriously. I want to help to propose a larger version of this to see if it’s feasible.
I like it :) It looks cute and it provides cover for fish near surface like Gourami. It's also great at removing excess nutrients from the water. Just take some out with a net when it grows too much and/or use a feeding ring.
I swear my fishes are soooooo crazy they would jump right into it.....maybe my fault because I trained them to swirl and float on 'streams'. The just love it
I have the 350, works well,but... The water is pushed down and all plants underneath are covered with algae as the dirty water flows directly on them. Oase should modify the water flow instead of downflow it should go horizontaly out like on the Eheim 350
look into the tidal HOB filters. they have a built in skimmer and the water goes back out through the top of your tank. it’s actually really cool. it’s an expensive filter but definitely worth it
No - it is not a filter for removing tannins. What it is designed for is to remove the build up of protein from the surface of the tank water which forms an oil slick and depletes a healthy gas exchange between oxygen in and CO2 out. This skimmer essentially supports oxygenation of the water in addition to making the water surface healthy with no scum/oil build up so it looks nicer too. A lot of people use skimmers instead of an air pump in home aquariums as they run much quiter whilst producing the same effect. The most common solution for removing tannins is to increase the amount of carbon in your filter.
It pushes the oil down into the water column away from the surface then, technically, your filter should remove the oil from the water column. By continuously skimming the surface the oil will not reappear. The smaller 350 model skims up to 400 litres (105 US gallons) of water an hour!
Glad I came across this video again , I wouldn’t recommend this product, it’s just loud and annoying it doesn’t do anything, I tried I bought it from Amazon and then returned it because it just a waste of money Not recommendable, in my experience!

I undesrtand how salt water skimmer works, but this skimmer how can it keep the protein and oil film inside the filter?

Never seen a skimmer before! How cool
This looks like something that would be great to use with for a reverse flow undergravel filtration system.
I thought undergravel wasn't so good anymore be cause you want an anaerobic layer of sand at the bottom for the good stuff to happen

Lol, you have no fvcking clue what you're talking about do you? The more you know my @ss 😂
That's an amazing tank man, awesome hardscape, great plants, overall, 100/10
I didnt even know what a skimmer was til i saw this video. Now i need one.
That’s a cool Aquapro’s sticker on the front of that tank. 🙌🏼

Will duckweed clog it up?
What’s your current favorite for a skimmer? Planning on picking one up soon.
Gotta subtract another 2 points for using suction cups instead of magnets.
I didn’t know they have magnetic ones. Do they have filters with magnets as well?
@@Txnkid76 the Sicce shark pro comes with magnets. It’s not a skimmer though.
@@onlywei Thanks!
They do work really well! But it’ll blow your substrate around if it’s to close that’s forsure 😂

Looks good. Hope those suction cups are good quality
They've work well so far 😊
@@AQUAPROS just saw the price..... WOWSERS !!!
Yeah indeed 5 from these things thx for showing it
Would it be useful for biofilm? I know it isn’t harmful, just don’t like the slightly oily look to it😅

Flow exiting the bottom is a terrible idea!!!!
Interested 🙏
Shame the output shoots downwards into the substrate
I love mine. Water is crystal!

That’ll be 800 dollars 😂
Jk, not sure how much it costs, should add that to the review. Seems pretty useful tho would love that for my aquarium
I feel ya, the small one is about the same cost as the Ehiem that everyone loves, but this big one is like 60 bucks 🤪
Lol fr though they overprice everything in the aquarium hobby because they can like why am I paying 300 to collect poop from the water surface and why am I paying 500 for a decent light😂
@@artistic6499 no fr lighting is stupiddddd expensive
@@AUSTIN-tw5hbfr man often the only thing stopping me from getting another tank is the price of plant lights
I agree lighting is expensive. I have been using these like 16" led lights from Lowes and it grows the plants well and only cost like $20
Damn you! Now I gotta give someone money😂
Damn your mics popping son.
Is it okay to use powerheads for planted tank? Or there are better choices?
Is there anyway to use these without it messing up your floating plants?
I hope they’re using this the next time @Exxon or @BP makes a mess. Seriously. I want to help to propose a larger version of this to see if it’s feasible.
What are you on about lad?
That would be great if you could hide it that’s one of the reasons I went for a sump
I’m new to this keeping what is the skimmer?
Love it
ANYTHING TO GET RID OF DUCKWEED!
AT ALL COSTS!!! 🤪😎😎

Is this available in Chennai, India
I sorted my oil film by using nano bubbles stone 😉
Do they have a way bigger one for duck weed?
Hi how longs the power cable thanks
I swear my fishes are soooooo crazy they would jump right into it.....maybe my fault because I trained them to swirl and float on 'streams'. The just love it
Ok, I can dig that.
How awesome is that
Nice rimless tank where you shop it from
What's the price for something like this.
How long does it take to fill the sponge
will floating plants block it?
I have the 350, works well,but...
The water is pushed down and all plants underneath are covered with algae as the dirty water flows directly on them.
Oase should modify the water flow instead of downflow it should go horizontaly out like on the Eheim 350
Or even better to have the water clean and algae never seen 😊
😊😊水質好，不會有髒水，吹下面幫手吹起魚屎😂😂
How does a skimmer work like a filter?
Saltwater compatible?
Is this the new filter?? I am getting back into Fish tanks and I am soo behind on what's new
How come the link not working to get the skimmer
I feel like the killifish in my 75 gallon would jump right in lol
Hahaha awesome! 😮😂
How is this different from a filter?
have a look at the OF skimmer,
ppl use skimmer for freshwater aquarium?
I’m thinking my duck weed would fill/clog that thing in 8.4362 seconds. Cool though! I’ve only used skimmers in salt water. So far…
Ive heard skimmers are pointless in freshwater tanks....?
This is the big one
Not available in Australia
How to order
Guess this kid never met “guppies” yet!
My fish would tear that tank up 😂
Discharge facing straight down is dumb.
I bet these are great for turtles if you can keep them from climbing it
Naww I love my duckweed
Same, keeps my water quality good and makes my tetras less nervous (I only have a few because it’s a small tank)
Where's the link
Buyers guide coming soon! 🤤
A duck weed killer? TAKE MY MONEY
I so wanted to buy this skimmer but blowing the water down well my soil would be all over the place..
You could possibly add something to redirect the flow, but I haven't tried it and it probably won't look as nice if you aren't crafty
look into the tidal HOB filters. they have a built in skimmer and the water goes back out through the top of your tank. it’s actually really cool. it’s an expensive filter but definitely worth it

How do you steal credit card numbers with this? 😂
"this thing sucks, but in a good way *smiley emoji*" thats kinda sus
I’ve bought it.
You need to clean it every other day otherwise it doesn’t work
如果要兩日一次，你水質好叉
Nice place send me the information
Yeah that has to be the worst design, being it blows out the bottom most won't be able to use it unless you have really deep tanks.
Which brand /model s it?
Oase350/600
100% not shrimp safe though.
I didnt like it it was very loud and too strong for my 10 gallon I ordered the smaller version and still to strong
Oase products are so elegant yet not practical like their aquariums lol
Making outlets point down is the dumbest design decision I ever seen
It can’t remove the oil so I’d think it’s just moving it and the oil would resurface
It pushes the oil down into the water column away from the surface then, technically, your filter should remove the oil from the water column. By continuously skimming the surface the oil will not reappear. The smaller 350 model skims up to 400 litres (105 US gallons) of water an hour!
@@silverfox74 I bought a skimmer and sure enough you were right
水流向下走回濾水器，是一個循環😮
There goes your top floaters..😢
👍💖👍
😎
But the duck weed...
How loud is it?
Silent 🤤
同eheim叉不多，靜少少
It's not good, fishes might get into that if they are small
But I like duckweed 😞
Ill sub if you keep reviewing stuff!!
hm
Hilarious

My little fish got stuck in the filter selection spot hes dead
Excellent surface filter. But then again if you have to filter the surface of your aquarium, then you should probably change your setup. 🫧 🐟
