Aquarium Surface Skimmer Inlet for Continuous Film Removal and a Clearer, More Reflective Display

Keep your aquarium’s viewing surface clear by drawing accumulated proteins, oils, biofilm, and organic residue from the uppermost water layer into the filtration pathway. This surface skimmer inlet provides ongoing removal as part of the aquarium’s existing flow, reducing the need to rely solely on temporary manual cleaning.

A cleaner surface preserves the bright, reflective appearance of a display aquarium and keeps attention on the plants, hardscape, and livestock below. Removing visible buildup also leaves the water-air interface less obstructed, where oxygen enters and carbon dioxide escapes.

Key Features

• Continuously draws from the uppermost water layer, so surface accumulation is managed during regular filtration rather than only when it becomes visibly distracting.
• Combines the filtration intake and surface-removal path, keeping the setup focused on one continuous water pathway instead of adding a separate cleaning process.
• Directs collected surface material toward the filtration system, allowing the filter to handle residue removed from the water’s surface.
• Clears dull-looking film so light and reflections can interact more naturally across the aquarium, preserving visual depth in planted layouts and other display aquariums.
• Available in two inlet sizes, giving aquarium keepers a choice between 12/16mm and 16/22mm options for their setup.
