Hi All,
I am considering using some form of surface skimmer to clear up organic films on my tank. Currently I have a false back wall with a wier which skims the surface nicely but I am hoping to invest in a proper braceless optiwhite tank soon. I have always found surface films to be a problem on tanks without much surface agitation.
I have seen a few pipes claiming to offer surface skimming services such as this one
Aquarium Lily Pipe water surface skimmer remove oil film planted tank 12/16mm | eBay
or this one
Aquarium Stainless Steel Inflow & Outflow Surface Skimmer Pipes DC09-02 | eBay
does anyone here have any experience of using these or similar pipes?
Do they work?
Do they sound like a cappuccino maker?
Any advice gladly received.
