Pro Clear Aquatics Motorized 150 Gallon Protein Skimmer

This is a very well designed and constructed protein skimmer. Has a small footprint taking up minimal space inside the sump. Optional drainage port is terrific. Nice touch to include tube for optional drainage port! Extremely easy to put together. Water level adjustment is very simple to use - simply hold the middle of pipe and gently pull up or down on the elbow. The sight tube is a nice addition. Seems to work well and skimming is efficient. The only reason that I'm giving only 4 stars is I did not like the included Rio 2100 pump and the skimming is not as efficient as AquaC Remora/Urchin. It is large, heavy and bulky. I think Rios are not reliable either. I had to change to a Quiet One 2200 pump which is more compact to be able to fit with room leftover in my sump. If I tried to use the Rio pump, it would have been an extremely tight fit and Visi-Therm stealth heater would need to be removed. I had a tough time finding a compact skimmer for my 100-125 gallon sump that had an optional drainage port. This is a great buy even if you need to spend $25 for a compact Quiet One pump or stick with Rio pump if you are not picky.

This is an very good skimmer...It works great and has an excellent price..I would recommend this to anyone..I had filled my overflow with a dry skim within a few days..My tank is 125 gallons and I use it in my sump and it works great.

I've tried about 4 skimmers and didn't like any of them due to them not working well or being high maintenance. I'm a newbie and this skimmer works like a charm for me!

Does exactlt what it is supposed to do and was very easy to put together. Worth the money.
