Message: [QUOTE="JohnHuff, post: 190858, member: 4156"] I'll be sure to ask for pond water the next time I visit a restaurant in central FL then :cheerful: I think that type of skimmer is too tiny to be useful. A few leaves and it looks like it will be blocked. More for a 100g fountain than a pond. And I can't believe they're selling that for $89. I used to have something like this: [URL="http://www.petmountain.com/product/pond-skimmers-waterfalls/11442-522377/tetra-pond-in-pond-skimmer-ponds-up-to-1-000-gallons.html?utm_source=googleproductads&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=%7Bkeyword%7D&gclid=CLqKqsLF57kCFY9eQgodYDkA1g"]http://www.petmountain.com/product/pond-skimmers-waterfalls/11442-522377/tetra-pond-in-pond-skimmer-ponds-up-to-1-000-gallons.html?utm_source=googleproductads&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term={keyword}&gclid=CLqKqsLF57kCFY9eQgodYDkA1g[/URL] Cheap, easy to install, versatile, no need to go through liners or anything. Worked great for me, picked up a lot of stuff. Only problem was that my fish kept on swimming into it, even though there was a barrier. Seemed that they were entranced by water going into this black cave. It happened so often that I took off the lid just so I could see if fish were in there. And I had to check it every day. After a few weaker fish got in there and died, I had to uninstall it. But if you've got big fish (over 10 inches or so), I think it would be a great and simple skimmer. [/QUOTE]
