Five Star Aquatics Surface Skimmers remove the ugly and harmful surface scum from your water. Surface film buildup on the water's surface of your aquarium is a hazard to your livestock. It impedes gas exchange and is also very unsightly. Our All-In-One Surface Skimmer breaks the surface tension and forces water downwards towards your intake grates, removing the hazardous and ugly surface film.
This Universal Surface Skimmer installs on any flat intake wall and holds against the intake grates while the filtration pump(s) is on or off. Included are two of the new and improved holding clip. These clips lock the Surface Skimmer in place while the filtration pump(s) is off. The holding clips allow the surface skimmer to be adjustable in height and includes a cut out on the front and rear for water flow. It works on a variety of intake grate styles. The rear part of the holding clip is shorter so you can use it on intake grates that have molding or a water direction channel piece.
