Oase CrystalSkim is a compact skimmer for suctioning the water surface. All particles floating on the water sooner or later end up in the skimmer.
Oase has thought this design through carefully. It is very small in size to be as unobtrusive as possible in the aquarium. If the suction force is too strong, it can be operated from above to set less power. The float is sturdy and can handle a water level difference of about 3cm. There is a basket in the opening (removable) that prevents particles larger than 2mm from entering the pump. Safe for fish and shrimp. Additional protection is provided by the sponge. The acrylic comb (not shown in photos and video) is also removable. This saves on periodic cleaning and increases the suction of surface water, but it does make it easier for fish and shrimp to be sucked in.
Cleaning is also very easy. The CrystalSkim is placed in an acrylic holder. It can be firmly attached to the glass with 2 suction cups. The skimmer can be removed from the holder when cleaning. No hassle with loosening suction cups, just remove, rinse and replace.
The sucked in water comes out at the bottom. This is blown out evenly, which prevents a strong current (as with other skimmers). A practical solution for a small aquarium.
Supplied with tweezers for removing the sponge.
