Tetra Pond Skimmer

[zharris05]

I have had my pond for a few years and have never even heard of a skimmer untill reading on here...

Im thinking about buying the "easy to use" tetra pond skimmer. I have an extra sumbersible pump i could easily attach...

Im not sure how these in pond skimmers work? Does the box float?

I assume the water is pulled into the box from my pump that sits below it?

Thanks for the help!

That thing looks like it would take up a lot of real estate inside a pond.

yea thats the link, well do you not recommend this skimmer? If so what do you think would be best? Thanks!

This one has a smaller foot print, see if it would work for you

I'm not really familiar with that skimmer so can't be of help. I don't tend to like things inside the pond like that. Plus, you will have to be careful of maintaining a water line or your pump will run dry.

Have you seen the floating skimmers? Oase makes two different types. Here they are:

They are more expensive, however.
