looking for a freshwater skimmer

[DasArab]

I agree with DasArab. They should only be used for the smaller particles and protein film. Large particles should be netted.

Yes I believe this is the main use for it.

Darn, this is not what I want to hear. It is really difficult to net the tank.

It has 2 very large glass lids that are very hard to move and 2 smaller ones that open only 4" to get my net in the tank.

Silver Dollars will happily eat the veges and fruits as fishdance mentioned. The only way I think to get rid of it, apart from netting it out and getting a fish to eat it, would be to place a strong powerhead and blow it to the surface to make all the waste 'accumilate' into a corner or two will allows for easy pickup by a filter.

The power head idea sound great I am going to try that. Also I will be on look out for some silver dollars.
