EHEIM skim350 ( duck weed skimmer)
Well I guess I will be the one to start this. New product to me, never seen it on the market before a couple weeks ago. Had a couple extra dollars to spend so I picked one up. And WOW, impressive. I am sure all of us with planted tanks that switch plants, exchange them with others end up with duckweed. You can scoop duckweed out over and over, pick it out one by one but only to miss just one and it'll be back.
This tank, 30 gallon with a 36" plant growing LED, duck weed will blanket the surface within days. I stuck the EHEIM skim350 in the tank and within minutes ALL the duck weed was gone. Had to dump the basket 3 X to get rid of the current population. I left the machine running for a while, came back and tested results. Moving hoses, waving my hand around to wash water around everywhere and nothing, no Duckweed. Not even one little piece.
This skimmer also will suck up small plant debris but anything larger than Duckweed will fill up the basket quick or retard the suction. However, dumping the basket is quick and easy.
Besides the retail price a big thumbs up on design and function!
