Surface Skimmer Vs. Spray Bar?

[onidrase]

Hey guys. I have been having trouble finding a spraybar attachment made for fluval canister filters, so I figured I'd contact the company directly asking if they had anything of the sort, and they redirected me to an attachment called a surface skimmer. I'm not really sure what it is, but it's cheap and doesn't seem like it'd be too effective.

Does anyone know if the surface skimmer would be worth while for increasing oxygen levels in the tank, as opposed to finding a spraybar? Where could I get a spray bar that is compatible with the fluval 406, if not?

Thanks much.

The surface skimmer does work well, by removing the surface film off the surface that blocks gas exchange. Check eBay for universal spray bar kits.

Hi there

found this because I was also wondering if there was a spray bar kit for the Fluval Externals.
