⚠️ Voltage Notice: This unit operates on 220–240V (50Hz) only. It is NOT compatible with 110V countries such as the United States or Canada. Please verify your local voltage before purchasing.
Key Features
- Auto Oil Film Removal: Continuously skims the water surface to eliminate oily film, keeping your tank visually clear and your aquatic life healthier.
- Ultra-Quiet Operation (<25dB): Shock-resistant thickened shell and suction cup mount effectively dampen vibration and noise during high-speed operation — virtually silent even during continuous use.
- 360° Vortex Water Inlet: Powerful eddy-current suction draws water in from all angles for maximum coverage and efficient surface filtration.
- High-Density Plant Fiber Mesh: Traps suspended solids, impurities, sediment, and fine debris while maintaining strong water flow and permeability.
- Dual-Compatible Ceramic Shaft: Works with both freshwater and saltwater aquariums; stainless steel shaft is durable and corrosion-resistant for long-lasting performance.
- Adjustable Flow Rate (up to 300L/H): Built-in flow switch lets you customize water output to suit your fish tank size and specific needs.
- Floating Platform Auto-Lift Design: Automatically rises and falls up to 3cm to compensate for changing water levels caused by evaporation — no manual adjustments needed.
- Easy to Install & Clean: Compact size (13cm × 4cm) fits neatly in most tanks; 140cm power cable provides flexible placement options.

Why Surface Oil Film Is a Problem
A greasy film on your aquarium's water surface reduces oxygen transfer between air and water and blocks natural light from reaching plants and fish. Removing it consistently supports a balanced, healthy aquatic ecosystem. Learn more about aquatic ecosystem health from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this aquarium surface oil skimmer compatible with my country's power supply?
A: This oil skimmer filter is designed for 220–240V, 50Hz electrical systems only. It is not compatible with 110V countries such as the United States or Canada. Please confirm your local voltage before ordering.
Q: Can I use this oil skimmer in a saltwater aquarium?
A: Yes! The ceramic and stainless steel shaft construction is corrosion-resistant, making this skimmer fully suitable for both freshwater and saltwater fish tanks.
Q: How does the automatic water-level adjustment work?
A: The floating platform design allows the skimmer to rise and fall automatically within a 3cm range, keeping the intake at the optimal water surface level even as water evaporates — so you don't have to constantly readjust it.
Q: How often do I need to clean the filter mesh?
A: Cleaning frequency depends on your tank's bio-load, but a weekly rinse of the high-density plant fiber mesh under clean water is generally recommended to maintain peak flow rate and filtration efficiency.
Q: Is this filter really quiet?
A: Yes. With a noise level under 25dB, the shock-resistant housing and suction cup base work together to minimize vibration, making it one of the quietest surface skimmers available for home aquariums.
