Finest-Filters Glass Surface Skimmer for Aquariums

Product Description

This glass surface skimmer is designed to improve water clarity and oxygen exchange by removing the unsightly surface film that often builds up in aquariums. The self-floating acrylic inlet automatically rises and falls with the water level, ensuring effective skimming at all times. The unit features adjustable flow control and is available in 12mm or 16mm sizes for easy connection to your existing canister filter tubing. Made from high-quality glass, the skimmer is both discreet and functional — ideal for aquascaped or planted aquariums where appearance matters. Please handle with care and secure hose connections using a cable tie (not included) as recommended. Directions: Connect your canister filter’s outlet hose (12mm or 16mm) to the glass skimmer inlet. Position the skimmer inside the tank and stabilise it against the glass. Turn on the canister filter and adjust the flow using the skimmer’s control. Ensure the floating inlet ring remains level with the water surface. Use a cable tie to secure the hose connection if needed.
