How many of you have surface skimmers?

[Marc118]

I was wondering how many of you have them? I have a layer of crap on the surface that i would like gone. Also how do you clean them...or even better how do these work? Would you say just scoop the crap off insted?

u can point a PH to the surface to break the water's surface so protein can't form into sheet

I did that and it only clears a patch of it. I guess i could point another one up there, I just dont want to take too much flow away fromthe body of the tank.

I have a surface skimmer box on my skimmer and I love it. I used to have that film on the top as well til I got the surface skimmer.

They are the best mod. you can make to a skimmer! My skimmer produces about 10x as much skimmate as before and my water is much clearer-top to bottom. HTH
