What is an aquarium skimmer?
An aquarium skimmer is a device that sucks up the surface layer of water and removes accumulated:

This layer often appears with poor water circulation, heavy feeding or densely planted aquariums.
With the help of the SUNSUN JY-02 aquarium skimmer, the clogged surface is quickly removed, which improves:
- water transparency
- oxygen exchange
- fish health
- plant growth
