Description

The Chihiros Glass Surface Skimmer Inlet M is a borosilicate glass surface skimmer for external filters with 12/16 mm hoses. It removes the surface oil film (biofilm) that forms on aquarium water by drawing the top layer of water into the filter intake — improving gas exchange, water clarity, and oxygen levels at the water surface. Made from high-clarity glass, it blends discreetly into planted aquascapes.
