## Description

AquaMaxx NF-1 nano-skimmer has all the attributes to make it an awesome nano-skimmer! Great pump, great design, great materials, great craftsmanship, great efficiency and great performance! Heart of a Skimmer is the Pump All AquaMaxx skimmers feature modified high-quality Italian Sicce Pumps. While other skimmers may also use Sicce needlewheel pumps, AquaMaxx ‘Shark’ pumps go above and beyond. Each Sicce pump motor block is modified then fitted with a proprietary AquaMaxx needlewheel impeller to further enhance its performance. With the precise modifications and upgrades, performance is boosted much beyond that of a standard Sicce needlewheel pump. The upgraded AquaMaxx ‘Shark’ pump is capable of drawing significantly more air and chops it up to the optimum bubble size for maximum protein extraction. The pump and protein skimmer combinations deliver unprecedented performance and reliability. Accumulated protein and organics will be vigorously removed from your tank and your water quality will be much improved! Innovative Design AquaMaxx skimmers are computer engineered and outfitted with the latest filtration technology. AquaMaxx NF-1 skimmer features an advanced bubble chamber to efficiently mix air and water to extract the maximum amount of protein. Noise is minimized by the built-in air silencer as well as the silicone noise-dampeners on the magnetic mounts. Extensively tested outlet baffling system minimizes air bubbles from exiting the outlet. Unsurpassed Quality High-quality cell-cast acrylic is used throughout for maximum durability. Experienced craftsmen assemble each skimmer precisely to produce a top-notch product at very affordable prices.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it needs to do, fits where it needs to fit
*by C***V on July 17, 2022*

Product arrived and looked pretty big. Thankfully it fit perfectly in my Innovative Marine Nuvo 20. When i say perfectly, i mean so snug that i had to push it down with a bit of force into the 2nd chamber (water coming up). At first i removed the rubber feet for a less snug fit but this affects the water level in the skimmer as these feet are plugging holes directly into the main reservoir, do not remove. Did not need the included magnet for this setup but i tested it out and it holds strong. Within 8 hrs of run time, after closing the overflow as far as I could per the directions, it produced the skimmate as shown in the picture. I don't see any micro bubbles in the tank and it’s quieter than the fan for my AI prime. The collection cup is larger than I thought it would be which is good because i can see myself forgetting to empty it occasionally. All in all, great buy, and I will update with any unforeseen issues, longevity, etc.

### ⭐ Dont buy it its impossible to adjust
*by T***Y on March 27, 2021*

After a month of using it , making it too late to return. The skimmer is junk. Its small and fits a back sump but the cup is tiny. The issue which makes it so that i wouldnt get it is that its impossible to adjust. Basically it has to be ajusted daily to make it work . I have probably gotten 5 good skim days out of a month. Skip the skimmer and spend the days spent adjusting it on water changes. Its junk stay away.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a nano skimmer that works
*by L***U on May 23, 2021*

So I'm going to start off by saying, after trying nearly a dozen nano skimmers now most aren't very effective. This little guy does an admirable job though. Skimmate is a little wet, but every day there is more in the cup. Been running about a month on my nuvo 20 and it's doing well. Tight, and I do mean tight fit in the nuvo 20 sump area but it works. I've only found that 4 out of the 11 nano skimmers I've tried worked enough to matter. This happens to be top 2 if not the best. Give it a few days running wide open, then adjust the water level to the bottom of the cup and you golden
