Oceanbox Magnetic Surface Skimmer for AquaClear HOB

[SpartyGalRN 8]

I have been having issue with surface film lately. Every time I do a WC you can see where the water line was because there is a line of scum on the tank, which eventually develops into an algae line. I have an AC70 + AC50 (and just ordered a Fluval 406) plus a bubble wand in my tank to help with surface agitation, but still have issues. I was wondering if anyone has used a surface skimmer successfully.

 

I ran across one on-line that works with the AquaClear HOB filters https://oceanboxdesigns.com/product/aquaclear-ac70-surface-skimmer/

 

Just wondering if this would cause issues with my Bubble Eyes???

 

Thanks in advance!!!

I know some skimmers only work with salt water.  This doesn't say "not for freshwater" but it certainly talks only about salt water tanks.

that you can make very cheaply.
