I'm always interested in trying new stuff to see if I like it better than the stuff I already have.

The latest item for test is a Hygger skimmer. I first saw these on Amazon about a month ago . I've really wanted a skimmer that works well but is smaller than the Oase Crystal Skim 350s I have now. The Hyyger is very similar in size but the cost and magnetic mount design intrigued me. It sat for awhile, but I finally began running it on my 90X50 aquarium several weeks ago. So far, I'm giving it a thumbs up. I haven't had shrimp getting stuck in it yet, but I imagine it could benefit from a different guard at some point. It has a few bad reviews on Amazon but I wonder if those individuals have experience with powered skimmers. I also have a stainless steel Fzone skimmer that I'll be trying soon and I'll report back on that.
