Nice video. With the skimmer in, will you be making some sort of new cover (lid) for the tank, because I see the old glass lid will not fit properly with the newly added skimmer? As your setup is now I would expect a lot more evaporation of water with the lid not being able to fit properly.
actually ive got this protein skimmer juste about 2 weeks now, and I really can't find the right spot for him to not overflow, the water level is at minimum and the bubble I try to put them at first of the collection cup but seems to always find its way up and go crazy please help… im kinda diseapointed because my tank is a fluval evo 14.5 made by fluval I thought it was going to be easy… help or garbage?
Yeah these things are really hard to get right and not have problems. I quit trying with mine too after a few weeks, it just wouldn’t work correctly from the beginning
THAT SKIMMER DRIVE ME CRAZY i have to empty it so often no matter how i adjust .The tiny lid never sits on firm aside from that my tank is in great shape for my first salt water tank experience . i'm new only had this little test tank 6 months already for a upgrade to a 32 g my space is limited can't give up anymore space or i get the broom to the back of my head .
Great video! I want a small skimmer for my 8g nano! But I just feel like this skimmer is just a little too big for my tank, hopefully I can find a smaller skimmer that'll get the job done!
Hey buddy i tagged you in the Aquarium Tube Tag Challenge. Check out the description in my latest video for the questions. Basically you have to answer 10 questions and then tag 3 others. Its pretty fun
So many things offered for sale to the aquarist but so many not worth it or just not good for some applications. I figure hobbiests spend million on not needed items. My salt water has no skimmer and does just fine.
so will you be performing less frequent water changes now?
would you recommend me buying a mini protein skimmer for my tank, i have the exact kind of tank that you are using
If you want to. I have the link in my description. It helps

+Michael Agostino I'll be getting a new lid.

Great video 👍 thanks for sharing!
Has it worked well over the time you've had it?
I decided to remove it in the end
@@MASSAquariums good to know!!! Cheers

Sorry. I gave up after a month. Couldn’t dial it in either

Hey mike! Do you use live plants on these tank too? And what to do to make them live.
+lawrence kurt I do not
MASS Aquariums ohhh
I just bought a used 32.5 Fluval. It came with the skimmer, but do I need it? After reading the comments, I really don't want to mess with it.
Nah. You’re good without it.
Hey, how did you get your tank lid to fit on the tank again? Did you buy a new one? If so what lid did you buy. Thanking in advance.
Nope could put the lid back on
MASS Aquariums Really? It fits a standard aqueon lid without cutting the glass?
Any recommendation on getting rid of brown diatoms?
Increase flow. But they will disappear when the tank matures.
Do you have to clean it or change anything out ?
Yes you have to. Lean it regularly
So what's everyone's opinion with a protein skimmer in a nano? Does it allow for longer time between water changes? Any noticeable difference?
I didn't notice
I have a 6gallon nano and I'm looking for a skimmer think this will be the one
Probably. It's the smallest one
beautiful aquarium nice video thanks for sharing this
Thank you.
Which way do you turn the water and air valve to increase and decrease the air and water level. Very frustrating.
+bwatt51 it's a little sensitive. Just twist it slowly
MASS Aquariums which way do I turn it
@@bwatt51righty tighty… lefty loosey…
Is it noisy or silent ?
Pretty quiet
hi dude, great vid. do you have an issue with micro bubbles pouring out of the side of the skimmer? If so, is this normal?
+DrOfWelshMagic yes there have been some bubbles
me too, I was beginning to think it was broken, however they have settled down slightly with bedding in, tho there are still more than I would like.
I agree

Haha. I hear you
I know it says 5-20 gallons, but I got a 24gallon tank and love the size of the ps2, do you think it’ll be alright on a 24 gallon tank?
Yes I think so
I have a 25 gallon and have just ordered it. How’s it holding up?
Hi how are you ? How's your skimmer running ? I just got one in and is running just like yours with a lot of water any ideias ?thanks !!!!!
Just have to keep adjusting it
wich aquaclear do you have?
50
I was looking at this when I was replacing the skimmer that Michael gave me but I went with the Kent 300 instead ... tank looks great Mike 🤗
Thanks PB. I havnt heard of that one
It's really good especially for a small tank like ours www.amazon.co.uk/Kent-Marine-Nano-Protein-Skimmer/dp/B004YJI9C4 🤗🤗
👍🍻
Great video! Why is it more comfortable to keep small salt water aquariums compared to large fresh water tanks?
I don't thinks it's more comfortable. It has its challenges
Great video! I want a small skimmer for my 8g nano! But I just feel like this skimmer is just a little too big for my tank, hopefully I can find a smaller skimmer that'll get the job done!
Thanks. It's tough
Johnny Keo try the Coralife mini skimmer. It's at $23 in Amazon.
Happy Reefing!
love this skimmer
+Micah Lobin how has yours been to dial in
WHERE SHOULD THE WATER LEVEL BE ? NEED HELP
It’s tough. Need to get it just right
Is that a fluval m series heater?
Yep
Lol "that's what she said"
Haha
😂🤣🤣🤣
How do I get a skimmer
Got the link in the description and it will bring you right to Amazon
Apple Hoe that's the PS1 Skimmer not the PS2 that Mike has. I've been trying to track a PS2 down for weeks with no luck.
MASS Aquariums the one you linked is the PS1 and the one you used is the PS2
What is a protein skimmer do?
+Tritan it removes organic waste from the tank
Hahaha I love your sense of humor "Thats what she said"
+Phillip Hoffman lol. 🐟👊🏼
good information video
Thanks
So you can’t use a glass lid with this
Over the tank yes but not the chambers
Bro what kind of shrimp or crab is he or she he’s to dope the setup is dope need a decent skimmer
Coral banded Shrimp
It was very badly configured, it is going up to the glass pure water, it is not to place it and you have to see that it works more dry.
Thanks
Hey hey mike , will be nice to see how this works , never understood them as a kid but can get it now . ☺ 🐠 XxoxX.
+john b from manchester england 👍🐟👊🏼
+MASS Aquariums. 😆 👍 XxoxX
David do you Luke saltwater
skimmer not necessary in such a small tank. your water changes should suffice
Yes. Just an experiment
Hey buddy i tagged you in the Aquarium Tube Tag Challenge. Check out the description in my latest video for the questions. Basically you have to answer 10 questions and then tag 3 others. Its pretty fun
Or my aquarium box
+Apple Hoe www.myaquariumbox.com
There is a lot of water in that cup hahaha
Yeah tough to dial in
so i got myself one of these and its a hell to tune it. Gone a week without any skim. Im trying to see if different water levels help.
it was easy
Was very easy
makes me want a reef but man the cost just adds up..
+Alejandro Sanchez it's not all that bad.
Yeah, but it is too big for a 10 gallon. Looks like a science experiment. Your tank is pretty but this thing spoils it. Just my opinion.
I agree. I have already pulled it
So many things offered for sale to the aquarist but so many not worth it or just not good for some applications. I figure hobbiests spend million on not needed items. My salt water has no skimmer and does just fine.
Don't like it, takes up tank space, can suck in corals that move, in a small tank I want to see corals and fish Not a Skimmer.
I will agree with that
It’s 100$ bro I’m only 15
Sorry dude
This thing sucks…pos…wouldn’t break in for months…micro bubbles
Yes I wasn’t a fan
I have to say mate, your clowns look quite bored/depressed compared to my clowns... Is there a reason you don't have any anemone for them??
Tank is to small for them
“That’s what she said.”That’s quite juvenile and crass. I certainly wouldn’t let my daughter listen to that!
Sorry Frank
