Skimmers are FOR saltwater use. Skimmers are useless in freshwater (for the most part, no flames). Short answer = yes.
 
All it will do is stir the surface water, eliminating that "film" that can form. It won't do any actual skimming. You're just as good pointing a powerhead towards the surface.
 
o. i was under the impression that this was kinda like a protein skimmer because i saw the airtube coming out the top in the picture

I doubt it is actually a foam fractionner. If you read the reviews ( on the link you posted ) the second one states that he attached it to a DIY skimmer. So like I said, I'm sure it's more of a surface aggitator. If you have a small tank, try a HOB skimmer. I use one my 20 gallon reef and it works great.
 
where did u get it from?
