Anyone tried the RIO hand on back mini skimmer?

Hi there, I currently have a 5g FOWLR that I want to set up for reefing, mainly mushrooms and zoos...

DO you guys think it could work? for $30 I think the price is reasonable for a tank this small or should I just keep my hang on tank filter?

THX in advance

I am using it. I just got it the other day. Finally getting skimate today. It is on a seahorse tank. I am getting microbubbles from it in the display, but am told that these will go away over time. I sure hope so, I know that microbubbles aren't good for horse.

If you get one, just realize it may take time till you see any skimate.

Hey Kristin, got a few questions...

What size tank are you using it on? how old is the tank? how many days have you been using teh skimmer?

And finally have any pics?

THX in advance
