inTank Surface Skimmers remove the ugly and harmful surface scum from your water. Surface film buildup on the water's surface of your aquarium is a hazard to your livestock. It impedes gas exchange and is also very unsightly. The inTank All-In-One Surface Skimmer breaks the surface tension and forces water downwards towards your intake grates, removing the hazardous and ugly surface film.
Automatically SAVE $1.50 each when you purchase 2 or more!
The inTank Universal Surface Skimmer installs on any flat intake wall and holds against the intake grates while the filtration pump(s) is on or off. Included is the new and improved holding clip. This clip locks the Surface Skimmer in place while the filtration pump(s) is off. The holding clip allows the surface skimmer to be adjustable in height and includes a cut out on the front and rear for water flow. It works on a variety of intake grate styles. The rear part of the holding clip is shorter so you can use it on intake grates that have molding or a water direction channel piece.

I am totally blown away by this product. It has completely removed all the surface slime and debris. So simple to use and has made a world of difference. Great quality like all in tank products. Could not be happier.

Keeps snails from blocking the return!
We have 15 gallon JBJ AIO freshwater tank with mystery snails. The snails and pieces of plants blocked my over flow causing the ATO to completely fill the tank. This guard prevents anything from blocking the return. It is a must have! It will also prevent your return pump from running dry.

inTank All-In-One Aquarium Surface Skimmer
Love this! I have a 5 gallon nano (Fluval) and my reef tank looked great but I was getting a film on top of the water, exacerbated by keeping my tank in the kitchen. This skimmer solved that problem in 10 seconds. No more film on top, contents look better than ever, corals thriving and I can see my floss is catching all that greasy film that used to live in the surface. Great, simple product and easy to install. Great service too!!

Amazing
Great product that cleared all surface film on my aquatop recife 40. Creates great surface agitation and is very easy to fit on the weir.

It works!
I was skeptical if this would make that big of a difference, but it definitely does. Works very well. Top is now crystal clear!

I have to admit that I didn't know at first why or how I would use this skimmer until I did. I can't get over how great I can now manipulate the water level and watch as any surface scum readily glides right to the filters entrance like magic. Its perfect fit and low profile design make it a must have for my nano tank.

Great
Works awesome keeping snails from glogging the over flow in my wb10

Great overall, needs more mounting options
Love this skimmer on my Fluval Evo 13.5, removes all surface scum, is adjustable and doesn’t take up much space in the tank. The clip does not fit the custom lid I ordered, so I ordered a rectangular magnet from Avast Marine and glued half of it to the inside of the skimmer. This works perfectly and keeps the form factor. I think you should offer a deluxe version that has magnets instead of the clip, that would solve a problem that a lot of people are having based on the reviews.

Surface Skimmer
Okay, I'll start off by saying that if I could give this thing 10 stars, I would. I had used black plastic canvas mesh as an overflow cover in my tank which houses a small female betta. The combination of low flow for the betta and small openings for the mesh meant that I developed a nasty scum of protein so thick that it was cutting down light penetration, and I worried whether my betta could breathe at the surface. I received this skimmer today, removed as much of the scum as I could by hand, and I installed the skimmer (which took about 5 seconds). Firstly, it was bigger than I imagined, and it didn't endanger entrapping my betta or its fins like feared. I could keep the tips of the slats way up at the top of the aquarium line. Within a couple hours virtually ALL of the remaining oily residue on the water surface was gone. Amazing for the minimal flow at which my tank is set up.

couldn't be more satisfied
Absolutely effective! Took some time to properly adjust the height to clear the surface maintain water level but totally worth the effort.

GREAT product!
I put this on my 14gal im peninsula and it is doing the job as described - surface is now clear!
Brian
Almost perfect
Got 2 for my 25 lagoon to raise the level and get rid of my surface scum. It does both of those perfectly. I just wish there was a different mounting system since the included screen top doesn’t fit anymore. I just flipped it upside down and laid it on top for now until I find a sleeker solution.
Justin
Raises water level perfectly!
Although I am happy with the skimmer itself, the clips do not hold it in place at all and the lid will not fit flush. I bought some magnets to hold it in place and that is working for now.

Must have for AIO tanks
Got two of these for my Innovative Marine Nuvo 20. I had some nasty oily build up on the surface of the tank. I tried aiming the power head at the surface to get better surface agitation and all it did was push the film around. Within minutes of installing these surface skimmers the oily build up was gone! I will say that if you have a Nuvo tank with the mesh screen lid, the lid will not fit correctly with these installed but I was able to just kind of lay the screen over the top of the included clips. A small price to pay for the incredible surface skimming of this product.
Justin
Well Made
This is a well made product, looks good, and fits the Flex 15 perfectly, was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making such a great product.

Surface skimmer
I installed the skimmer in my evo v tank. The surface is clear of slime. Note however that the clip that attaches the skimmer to the filter creates a gap that doesn’t allow the tank cover to seat properly. A better clip design is called for. But it works

Great product
Love how my water level has raised using these surface skimmers, also I added filter floss to help keep my water crisp and clean and this product has been worth event dollar. I use 2 for my 25g lagoon and I also use intanks filter floss, perfect combo
Jacob
Works great!
Two of these raised the water level in my IM Fusion 40 so it's nearly to the top and it looks much nicer not seeing the salt-coated inner side of the glass just under the rim that's impossible to keep clean. They are very solid and high quality! The lid sits just on top of them with the clip going over the partition, but it's barely noticeable so I'm just going to leave it. Happy with them and if someone stole them I'd buy em again.

Surface Skimmer
I installed 2 of these on my Innovative Marine 30L aquarium! They required me to modify the lid, but after installed they are awesome! Not only do they catch major collection on the surface but they allow you to adjust the water level in your tank! Raised my water level in the IM 30 about 3/4 of an inch! Great quality and product. Highly Recomend!
