This surface skimmer is designed for aquarium keepers who need to keep the water surface clean. It removes floating debris such as plant remains and food residue, along with the protein-fat film that forms on the surface and can affect water parameters and photosynthesis.
Why it matters
- Surface intake: The filter draws water directly from the surface, where contaminants collect, instead of from the lower part of the tank.
- Larger collection cup and sponge: A bigger cup holds more collected waste and a larger sponge increases filtration capacity, which reduces how often the filter needs cleaning.
- Adjustable suction: A smooth regulator controls how strongly water is drawn from the surface, which helps in setups where the intake strength needs to be tuned.
- Adjustable aeration: The built-in air intake is controlled with a valve, so the amount of added air can be changed steadily.

What it works with
The JY-03 belongs to the aquarium filtration and aeration category and is intended for use in the water column at the surface of an aquarium. Its 300 l/h flow rate and 5 W power draw define its role as a light surface-cleaning unit, and the adjustable intake allows it to be matched to the specific setup. Tank volume is not specified in the product data, so compatibility should be checked against the flow requirements of the aquarium.
