I think this is rebranded skimmer because I have never heard of the company before.
Any help would be appreciated with identifying it.
Amazon product ASIN B07ZXY615H
Thanks
 
Funny I cannot see the picture and I am using a MAC.
 
I dont think it’s no big box brand
I was wondering that myself but it's kind of odd that a small company would design and build a skimmer in a market that is flooded by big name companies making skimmers.
That controller looks like some kind of generic DC pump controller as it has a Wave option LOL.
They mention to never to put it in that mode :D
 
Lots of stuff is made that we never see. You could buy these on Ali baba in bulk and have them label them for you. A lot of products are just purchased and rebranded
 
Yes they look pretty cool but the big issue is that there is no way to even get a new prop for the pump if it goes. I see that someone asked the question and they said to use a Bubble Magnus 600 or bigger pump. Thats an AC pump from what I can see. The IOAOI might be falling into my lap in a few days for free so before I even give it a try on my tank I will see if I can find source a replacement pump in case I do decide to use it full time. I have been using an ASM G3 for 15 years now with very little issue but I am interested to see how this stacks up. I also would love to reclaim some of my sump space.
 
The pump is the heart of a skimmer.. beware the "no-name" skimmer pump.

And yes, one look at the body tells me who mfg's it...

Who?
 
Likely Chinese brand
 
That skimmer is internal and sits on a mount. I don’t think you can find something similar and it will work. Has to be the same pump. If it was external, complete other story. I wouldn’t cheap out on my skimmer. Even if it’s free
