Ordered this skimmer for my nano as it seemed the highest quality for its size. With slight modifications, I was able to get it into the middle chamber of an IM Nuvo Pro 10. The skimmer works well and seems to be constructed of quality materials. It’s certainly overkill for what I have. Takes some of the gunk out of the water. However, the DC pump controller it came with never worked. Bypassing the controller and plugging the pump directly into full power worked but was overkill for my use. I contacted Fiji Cube hoping they would send me a replacement controller. A couple days later, I got a response asking for proof of purchase. I sent that back the following day and haven’t heard or received anything and it’s been three weeks. Being an engineer, I was able to make my own pump controller using a DC voltage controller and electronics, so my problem is solved by my own means. I’d rate the product itself a 4, since the controller didn’t work. Fiji Cube customer service is a 1, which averages to the 2.5/3 stars I gave.
