 Skimmer Reviews
OK,
So I just ordered and installed 2 skimmers and here were my findings.
CPR BakPaK - 8 of 10
Packaged well, easy to set up and install, instructions were lacking. Default pumps appear somewhat weak. When the tank had grime it seemed to clean it out well.
Via Aqua Multi-Deluxe Skimmer - 6 of 10
Packaed well, very bad instructions and docs, the surface skimmer was not very good as it did not line up with the surface and was not very adjustable. The collection cup seemed to not be well designed. Very hard to adjust without good instrucctions, To not have the cup fill with water, I had to turn the flow way dow, thus not pulling in a lot of water. UV works well.
\Cheers
