The SK400 has been running smoothly for three months. It effectively removes surface film without disturbing fish or plants. The flow control is easy to adjust and keeps water quality stable.

I noticed a significant reduction in algae buildup after installing the skimmer. The sponge stays clean and the oxygen levels in the tank feel more balanced.
