lol i remember that one. its super cheap.
i heard some bad reviews from it. i would get one but no reason to. and that if theres something wrong with it or it suxs its hard to return it...without losing a lot of money.
with that price might as well try it. heard a few good reviews like "it does wat it suppost to do." that kind of stuff.
probably one of the reasons that people gave it bad reviews is that people are using it in huge tanks with a overstock tank. so it cant handle that. (emptying the cup ever hour or so) or it overflowing.
it should be fine in 10g-30g depending on wats in the tank.
helps if you got a sump where u can throw it in.

You would like a review on it.....here goes:
piece of crap.
ran it for 3 weeks and couldn't get it to work properly consistently, dispenses micro bubbles galore and even doubling the pads they give you that are used to reduce the bubbles doesn't help. Produces no skimmate what so ever, just fills the cup with water.
It is fiddly and when you CAN get it to work it is totally dependant on the water level inside the tank to function. A quarter inch of evap in the level causes it to malfunction. Moving it up or down in the tank to tune it causes it to come apart in pieces in your tank so you are constantly having to fetch pieces from the bottom or where ever your power head blows it.
Do not waste your money. performing regular waterchanges is all that is needed.......
oh and I wouldn't put any eel into a 20g tank........

My suggestion is to run a sump...anytime you can increase your total water volume your helping yourself....next suggestion would be to get a CPR Backpack skimmer or an Aqua-C Remora...you could even try your hand at DIY'ing and build yourself a small soda bottle skimmer for next to nothing and they work pretty well
Cinlnk you should have searched the forums on that skimmer before buying it......I posted my crap review months ago right after I bought it.........and on this forum too!
sorry but you could do as I did and sell it on ebay........just do as I did and warn them that they don't work that great......you'd be suprised

Here is one set of plans for a soda bottle skimmer, this one is quite small, made out of 20 oz bottles, but keep in mind that this can be made in larger sizes according to your tank size
Horge's skimmer
There are others out there I just have to find them
