This looks like something that would be great to use with for a reverse flow undergravel filtration system.
I thought undergravel wasn't so good anymore be cause you want an anaerobic layer of sand at the bottom for the good stuff to happen
@@rajgill7576 almost nobody does that style of tank tho. Just like nobody does undergravel lol. And when I say nobody does deep substrate tanks, I don't really mean nobody, but it's a negligable amount. And there are other ways to do it, it's not the one correct way to do stuff. For instance aquasoil achieves the same type of anaerobic conditions inside each ball. The more you know!
Lol, you have no fvcking clue what you're talking about do you? The more you know my @ss 😂
So I ended up picking up this skimmer and it’s… flawless. Literally everything you could want a skimmer to be. I run it 24/7 and there is absolutely nothing I’d change about it.
I undesrtand how salt water skimmer works, but this skimmer how can it keep the protein and oil film inside the filter?
@@Noeman2009this is not a protein skimmer it’s just a surface skimmer. Surface particulates get caught in the foam and the oil is remixed into the water so stays suspended better.
@@pascal590 Did you mean the oil will be back at the surface again? My Discus tank (planted tank) shows oil film and bubbles on the surface, trying to find an answer if this kind of a surface skimmer will solve or reduce it. Oh thank for the explanation, just don't understand fully.
That’s a cool Aquapro’s sticker on the front of that tank. 🙌🏼
I didnt even know what a skimmer was til i saw this video. Now i need one.
The Eheim Skim350 is better as this one from oase in my opinien. This oase has indeed the outflow downwards, eheim not and for the eheim you can also buy an addon for the inflow to keep out small fish and large particles.
That's an amazing tank man, awesome hardscape, great plants, overall, 100/10
They do work really well! But it’ll blow your substrate around if it’s to close that’s forsure 😂
Or you could buy the skimmer version of steel outlet pipe then the filter removes the film/scum instead of blowing it back into the tank so your skimmer is always working with you instead of against you like your video is.. skimmers need to be attached to the filter to work properly/efficiently.
Capsule cleaner 🔥
I love mine. Water is crystal!
Could this be a substitute for a filter? My 75 gallon tank got totaled and I'm researching to replace everything and this came up
Yeah indeed 5 from these things thx for showing it
I love the look of this. I think or skimmers as something for drilled tanks, or salt water I think this is going to be bought on my next trip to my LFS
In saltwater tank overflow box does the job of surface skimming also
You don't need additional surface skimmer
Rather you need a protein skimmer to remove organic wastes
I have the 350, works well,but...
The water is pushed down and all plants underneath are covered with algae as the dirty water flows directly on them.
Oase should modify the water flow instead of downflow it should go horizontaly out like on the Eheim 350
I hope they’re using this the next time @Exxon or @BP makes a mess. Seriously. I want to help to propose a larger version of this to see if it’s feasible.
Will duckweed clog it up?
What’s your current favorite for a skimmer? Planning on picking one up soon.
I probably won’t ever use anything like this, because the last great filter I bought is sitting in its box, never to be touched again. They make it look like they’re so easy to assemble & disassemble BUT wasn’t at all! This looks easy, but is it really?
Shame the output shoots downwards into the substrate
Product name plz....
How about the floating plants?
I sorted my oil film by using nano bubbles stone 😉
Is there anyway to use these without it messing up your floating plants?
Saltwater compatible?
Would it be useful for biofilm? I know it isn’t harmful, just don’t like the slightly oily look to it😅
Gotta subtract another 2 points for using suction cups instead of magnets.
Flow exiting the bottom is a terrible idea!!!!
Is it okay to use powerheads for planted tank? Or there are better choices?
I swear my fishes are soooooo crazy they would jump right into it.....maybe my fault because I trained them to swirl and float on 'streams'. The just love it
That would be great if you could hide it that’s one of the reasons I went for a sump
this seems like the perfect thing for my turtle tub usually i feed them and there’s some pellets left over from just not being as hungry or whatever and this would come in handy just curious how fast it fills up? like do i gotta clean it often or? i usually do a full tank cleaning once a month and i dont mind weekly cleanings of this thing but i dont wanna do it daily lol
Interested 🙏
Damn you! Now I gotta give someone money😂
Ok, I can dig that.
What's the price for something like this.
Ive heard skimmers are pointless in freshwater tanks....?
Damn your mics popping son.
will floating plants block it?
I’m thinking my duck weed would fill/clog that thing in 8.4362 seconds. Cool though! I’ve only used skimmers in salt water. So far…
Is this available in Chennai, India
have a look at the OF skimmer,
This is the big one
Do they have a way bigger one for duck weed?
Is this the new filter?? I am getting back into Fish tanks and I am soo behind on what's new
That’ll be 800 dollars 😂
Jk, not sure how much it costs, should add that to the review. Seems pretty useful tho would love that for my aquarium
I feel ya, the small one is about the same cost as the Ehiem that everyone loves, but this big one is like 60 bucks 🤪
Lol fr though they overprice everything in the aquarium hobby because they can like why am I paying 300 to collect poop from the water surface and why am I paying 500 for a decent light😂
@@AUSTIN-tw5hbfr man often the only thing stopping me from getting another tank is the price of plant lights
I agree lighting is expensive. I have been using these like 16" led lights from Lowes and it grows the plants well and only cost like $20
How long does it take to fill the sponge
ANYTHING TO GET RID OF DUCKWEED!
I like it :) It looks cute and it provides cover for fish near surface like Gourami. It's also great at removing excess nutrients from the water.
Just take some out with a net when it grows too much and/or use a feeding ring.
Hi how longs the power cable thanks
ppl use skimmer for freshwater aquarium?
Would this get rid of the brown color wood makes
How does a skimmer work like a filter?
How is this different from a filter?
My aquarium clear as the empty sky and I don’t use non of that
Hahaha awesome! 😮😂
How awesome is that
I bet these are great for turtles if you can keep them from climbing it
Nice rimless tank where you shop it from
100% not shrimp safe though.
Love it
Naww I love my duckweed
Same, keeps my water quality good and makes my tetras less nervous (I only have a few because it’s a small tank)
How come the link not working to get the skimmer
I feel like the killifish in my 75 gallon would jump right in lol
I so wanted to buy this skimmer but blowing the water down well my soil would be all over the place..
You could possibly add something to redirect the flow, but I haven't tried it and it probably won't look as nice if you aren't crafty
look into the tidal HOB filters. they have a built in skimmer and the water goes back out through the top of your tank. it’s actually really cool. it’s an expensive filter but definitely worth it
How to order
I’ve bought it.
You need to clean it every other day otherwise it doesn’t work
Not available in Australia
doesn't make sense to blow out the bottom at least include an 90° attachment
Buy link
Excellent surface filter. But then again if you have to filter the surface of your aquarium, then you should probably change your setup. 🫧 🐟
I didnt like it it was very loud and too strong for my 10 gallon I ordered the smaller version and still to strong
A duck weed killer? TAKE MY MONEY
Guess this kid never met “guppies” yet!
Woooow
My fish would tear that tank up 😂
Yeah that has to be the worst design, being it blows out the bottom most won't be able to use it unless you have really deep tanks.
Discharge facing straight down is dumb.
"this thing sucks, but in a good way *smiley emoji*" thats kinda sus
Oase products are so elegant yet not practical like their aquariums lol
Nice place send me the information
How do you steal credit card numbers with this? 😂
It can’t remove the oil so I’d think it’s just moving it and the oil would resurface
Its a terrible product. The micro bubbles drove me insane. And i tried everything to get rid of them. But even on the slowest speed, without the fish guard in, there were microbubbles everywhere. Which is all fun and games until your canister filter sucks up enough microbubbles to create an air pocket somewhere in your filter. And also there’s bubbles stuck on the underside of your plant’s leaves all the time. I ended up returning it to amazon and got a refund. My first, and last Oase product ever. Well, thats what i get for cheating on Fluval. I just wish the Fluval SK400 was easier to find in the US.
Ill sub if you keep reviewing stuff!!
It's not good, fishes might get into that if they are small
But I like duckweed 😞
I like floating plants so this is a no.
But the duck weed...
There goes your top floaters..😢
hm
Making outlets point down is the dumbest design decision I ever seen
Glad I came across this video again , I wouldn’t recommend this product, it’s just loud and annoying it doesn’t do anything, I tried I bought it from Amazon and then returned it because it just a waste of money
Not recommendable, in my experience!
This thing sucks but in a good way lol
Hilarious
Never seen a skimmer before! How cool
