It clears toxic waste from an aquarium that a regular carbon filter cannot.

A device that produces microbubbles. The surface area of those bubbles will trap bad chemical (specifically nitrates) and collect it for you in a top collect cup.

Scroll down to "product description" (under "product details"). Brief explanation is that is uses bubbles to remove trace particles from the water that regular filters can't fix. I had a severe algae problem in my tank. This got rid of it. I had too many nutrients hanging out in my water

The skimmer has brackets that will attatch to the ultra fram as well as the inflatable top pools. Does a very good job. I would do it again. We've had ours running since June 2013.

I found one on amazon, it was a suggested purchase from the same vendor I ordered the skimmer from. I just used a search for the Intex skimmer.

yes, but the protein skimmer is not needed. There is another model that replaces the skimmer with a UV sterilizer.

This item is a protein skimmer and is designed for a different purpose than a regular filter. I would not recommend it.

Aminos are the building blocks of protein. With that said, your actual questions would be. What is syntha 6 protein bioavailability? Ie the acutual protein my body will use. Syntha 6 is actually 6 proteins in one which make it more popular then "on whey" for obviously the different digestion stages. A scoop has 22 grams of which 80% is bioavailability is dependent on you. "Ie before or after workout before or after bed. In between meals your basically piss out your money because the body brakes it down to the amino acids needed at the time. It's an excellent maintance protein. You want more protein bioavailability for your money look into isopure or my favorite to stack with syntha 6 which is humapro

I just bought a18x42my old pool is a 16x48 I paid $200.00 for it at. WalMart it came with a skimmer. The skimmer is the little basket that catches the debris so it don't clog your pump.

It is an in sump skimmer. It works OK once you get it dialed in. Over all, but bad for the price, but you do have to toy with it.

yes, this unit works well enough for both of those size tanks- you wont need to run the protein skimmer as much for the 30 gallon depending on what you have going on in it. Id suggest setting it up on a timer and just have it go on ever so often to scrub the water up :)

You don't want to use hang on back filtration for a salt water system. .. do research before you set up a saltwater system they are very expensive and you will kill everything if not set up properly. .. get a protein skimmer not a filter like this

Skimmers are only necessary for saltwater tanks (contrary to some of the other answers provided). Skimmers are an effective means of removing dissolved organic matter so it doesn't need to be processed by your biological filter and eventually end up as nitrate. For most saltwater applications I would strongly suggest a skimmer in addition to your standard 3-stage filtration such as that provided by a cannister filter. These types of filters do not perform the same function as a skimmer actually removes waste from the water column while a cannister leaves waste in the column and processes it.

It can suck some small leaves in, but not a whole mess of them. I love the skimmer, because I have to plug my kreepy krawler into my skimmer to clean the pool, so when I do this , I cannot clean the surface. The skimmer motion keeps the surface clear of scum,small bugs and small leaves. I am happy with it.

The overflow box has the corrugated hose that dumps down to the sump area. It goes through the filter area, then into the protein skimmer area, and the return pump is right next to the protein skimmer pump. Both pumps are right next to each other. There is no pump that is hooked up to the overflow. That is gravity fed and adjusted to the water level in either the filter or the tank. Hope this helps. I have one hooked up now.

No skimmer needed. I use the M size for a red eared slider turtle. Fantastic filter!

I am not sure about the Helix skimmer and I am not sure what brand of skimmer I have but it fits just fine. I will say that I have been using this brand of pumps for almost 13 years. They last about 2 to 3 years and I am running mine 24,7 year round. If you keep it clean they will last longer. This has been a good pump for my waterfall.
