Eheim Skim 350 Setup and Review

[@MrTea117]

I was curious if the Eheim is has an adjustable flow so I looked on their website and on Amazon and neither seemed to mention the adjustability of the pump so I was about to pay double for an adjustable pump. Now after watching your review I know I can go with the Eheim. Thanks for posting a solid review of the skimmer!

You’re very welcome!!! Glad I could be of assistance!

Tip: you can add some filter floss in the top, i helps to keep out large particles and small fish.

[@AquatikGuru]

Good tip!

[@WHlSKYx]

It doesn’t do anything for surface scum though.

[@AquatikGuru]

@TH3Nx I gotta disagree. Been running them now for 5+ years and that’s literally what I use them for lmao

Excellent review! Thank you so much for doing this. I've been looking for a tool to use to help clean up my Monte Carlo and hair grass. It seems like I can sit there with the net for an hour and still not get everything. Even though most of my tanks have skimmers on them. This will still be a great tool for maintenance day.

[@AquatikGuru]

Thank you for watching!! I love this skimmer! Does fantastic quick work of anything floating on the surface

Finally, something that will for the fluval spec v

[@AquatikGuru]

Yes!

A fantastic appliance, how many times a month is it convenient to clean? Helps oxygenate water. Good work.

[@AquatikGuru]

I would say weekly. The sponge is very small so it does fill up rather quickly.

[@paulojorgetadeu2233]

@@AquatikGuru I agree, I still like the efficiency, a nice addition to your aquarium.

[@gallardo20000]

would you recommend this for flow in a planted tank? I usually remove surface scum with a pitcher takes less than 30 seconds

[@AquatikGuru]

Absolutely would recommend this in a planted tank 100%

Can i put filter floss in it ?

[@AquatikGuru]

Yes you can! Does wonders to do so!

[@AQUAGUYUK]

best one i have used

[@AquatikGuru]

Couldn’t agree more

[@oscarrodriguez9878]

I would suggest to move the skimmer behind the big rock, it takes away from your scape

[@AquatikGuru]

Typically I just put it in for a few minutes then take it out

[@loladiarychannel9195]

The skimmer works well in your aquarium

[@AquatikGuru]

I agree!

[@Frankyfish42]

Does it remove oils? Would a special type of sponge be needed for that?

[@AquatikGuru]

Great question. Yes it does remove oils. It’s not necessary but I personally added a little bit of polyfil just for a lil extra strength but I do that in every filter I own for improved clarity

[@Frankyfish42]

Thanks for the reply. Ordering on Amazon now 👍
