This skimmer has made a noticeable difference in my tank. The surface is much cleaner, and I see better light penetration. It’s easy to install and works quietly. I’ve noticed less algae growth since adding it.

Works well with my AC110 filter. The oily film on the surface is gone after a few days. I clean it every two weeks and it stays effective. A small improvement but very useful for a planted tank.

Installed it in my 70-liter tank and the water surface is now clear. Oxygen levels seem better, and fish are more active. No issues with compatibility or operation.
