I love this brand such well made craftsmanship. It was well worth the money. AND it started skimming skimmate out immediately. Like within 1 hr I already had about 1/2 inch collected!!! Highly highly recommend. 🖐🖐 🌟's ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Too Big For 65 Gallon *by N***3 on June 30, 2020* I bought this for a 65 gallon aquarium (light load) with a 30 gallon stump. For me, it was just to big as in skimming wise. It fit very well in my stump. It is extremely quite and looked great. It's very easy to disassemble and clean. I wish it wouldn't have been too big for my aquarium. I only had it for a couple days though and the bubbles didn't even reach the top. But I would recommend for others definitely. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/53787929-reef-octopus-essence-s-130-protein-skimmer](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/53787929-reef-octopus-essence-s-130-protein-skimmer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
