Ive had mine for 10 years. Absolutely love it! Is it loud? Sure a little bit, most skimmers are. I have mine from 4am to 4pm 😆. But it keeps my tank beautiful and clean
For some odd reason mine is not turning on after I put water in the back sump it’s not turning on idk what’s going on because the first time I got it I used it on my 40 gallon and it kept overflowing no matter how many times I adjusted the water level so I just put it up but now I want to use my 10 gallon but it is not working I don’t know why
i got a 80 gallon and this is recommended for 60 but i’m only gonna have a lion fish and snowflake eel so it should be fine as it’s not gonna be over stocked ?
I bought one of these with the weight of your review here putting this into the wins column. I was wrong. This thing is cheap for a reason. This skimmer is so freaking loud, it drives me crazy. The tuning is non existent. It's not my first and only HOB skimmer either. This unit is just not worth all the hassle to save some money. Don't be me. Get something better instead of fighting with this bad product.
Sorry you feel that way. I don’t really have a good explanation for the skimmer to be loud because I never had that issue. But there are two ways to tune the skimmer one being from the pump which you’d access on the inside (black) and the other is a fine tuner near the collection cup (grey). I think you might only be using the fine tuner which allows you to choose between wet and dry skimming.
Hey man what do you think about the tunze 9004 skimmer ?
I love my marco skimmer!
I love them too

try using the fine tuning knob (gray) see if that helps stop the overflowing. Also a 10 would be too small for the skimmer imo
@ ok thanks I try that
How do you take the clear plastic body off to clean?
I don’t I use a turkey baster to empty out the gunk. However, I think the plastic body can just pop off and be put right back on like a lego.

Yea you should be good. I wouldn't put a volitan lion in an 80 gallon long term tho. Try searching for dwarf lionfish!
@@Equarist ye that’s the one i’m getting cheers for the quick reply
@@Thevenomousfishh Good luck with the tank!

This has absolutely awful reviews failure from 10 minutes to a few months. Good reviews must be paid.
I wish I got paid lol, but I had a good experience with using this protein skimmer albeit with some minor issues.
I've had mine 2 years it has stopped twice but after cleaning it it perfect again
