Surface of 22gal long tank crystal clear in 1hr - Super simple setup. Adjustable direction of spray. Cleared up filmy surface really fast. It is a tiny unit which should not be thought of as a whole tank filter. I think this will be perfect for as-needed use. Review: VERY SMALL!!! - I only gave this an average rating, because it probably does well for a SMALL tank - do NOT think of trying to use this on anything more than maybe a 20 or 30gal tank! I needed one for a 125gal and this was WAY too small! I ended up returning this one & going with the SunSun unit - it's literally twice the size! All of these skimmers function pretty much the same way - and yes, you have to be careful with any floating foods! ## Features - Strong Function-Protein on the water surface of the fish tank caused by external factors will hinder the exchange of water flow and oxygen, resulting in the death of fish.CHERLAM protein skimmer has a built-in super-strong eddy current motor, which can easily solve the Protein pollution on the water surface.The protein separation membrane has strong water permeability and strong adsorption force maintaining the living environment required by fish. - Intimate Design - The floating table of the protein skimmer adopts a lifting design, which can automatically lift up to 1.18 inches, so there is no need to worry about the situation that the aquarium surface protein skimmer does not work due to the drop of water vapor evaporation and water level.

Surface of 22gal long tank crystal clear in 1hr *by C***R on September 12, 2023* Super simple setup. Adjustable direction of spray. Cleared up filmy surface really fast. It is a tiny unit which should not be thought of as a whole tank filter. I think this will be perfect for as-needed use. ### ⭐⭐⭐ VERY SMALL!!! *by L***R on September 8, 2023* I only gave this an average rating, because it probably does well for a SMALL tank - do NOT think of trying to use this on anything more than maybe a 20 or 30gal tank! I needed one for a 125gal and this was WAY too small! I ended up returning this one & going with the SunSun unit - it's literally twice the size! All of these skimmers function pretty much the same way - and yes, you have to be careful with any floating foods! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very pleased, could use some improvements *by M***H on October 20, 2023* I bought two of these. One went into a 55 gal reef tank, another into a 20 extra high nano reef that’s just getting started. Both tanks had a significant amount of oily film on the water’s surface, and this filter completely took care of the problem in ten minutes on both tanks. However, the blue strainer had started bobbing up and down by the next day while a huge amount of micro-bubbles were shooting into the tank, and then it just ended up getting sucked down into it’s lowest position. I tried adjusting the position of the filter to get the strainer to stay in a good spot, but the only way I found to make it do that was to move the slider to the lowest-power position. This didn’t really reduce the surface-cleaning effectiveness of the unit, but it obviously reduces the flow and filtering that is provided to the tank. Honestly, you could glue the strainer in place so that it doesn’t bob around, and then just watch your water level and you’d be all set. I’m definitely happy with these; the surface of each tank is completely clear. The unit is pretty small and very quiet, and the price is quite affordable. My biggest gripe with the design is that the power cord comes out of the bottom of the unit, which is annoying and cumbersome. I realize that the pump is located at the bottom of the device, but there’s got to be a way to have the cord come out closer to the top. I’ll be interested to see how this type of product evolves during the next few years. ## Frequently Bought Together - CHERLAM Aquarium Surface Protein Skimmer,3W Fish Tank Protein Skimmer,3 in 1 Aquarium Oil Skimmer for Sea and Fresh Water, Internal Filter Wall Mounted Fish Tank Surface Protein Skimmer - Aquatop 65 GPH Internal Surface Skimmer – for Tanks Up to 100 Gallons, Salt & Freshwater Tanks, Removes Film & Oil from Water Surface, Suction Cup Mounts for Versatile Placement, SSK-65 - Api Root Tabs Aquarium Plant Fertilizer, 10-Count, Multicolor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/497956151-aquarium-surface-protein-skimmer-3w-fish-tank-protein-skimmer-3](https://www.desertcart.us/products/497956151-aquarium-surface-protein-skimmer-3w-fish-tank-protein-skimmer-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
