OrangetheClownfish Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Help! My tank has a seemingly "oily" surface. i have a protein skimmer but it doesnt suck the surface, so is there a simple solutionvto this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunQuan Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) simply use a siphon to suck out the water surface and replace with same amount of saltwater. only works if its is really oil (not other factors) Edited December 4, 2017 by JunQuan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member KL Tay Posted December 4, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted December 4, 2017 You can use a piece of newspaper, lay on the surface of water.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted December 4, 2017 SRC Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2017 Google DIY Surface Skimmer for simple DIY with small pump, mineral water bottle & some filter wool. Else, you can get the SurfClear skimmer by Ocean Free / Qian Hu : Quote Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/mysliceofnature/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingwe Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Instead of a standalone surface skimmer, you might also want to consider a surface skimmer which can be attached to the inlet of your filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
