The Aquascape Signature Series Pond Skimmer is one of the best skimmers we\u2019ve found. The skimmer is built with commercial-grade materials and a lid that resembles rocks, so it is easy to blend into your existing aquascape.<\/p>\n
The design of the skimmer makes it easy to clean and maintain. It resists corrosion so you can use it in both saltwater and freshwater ponds. The materials also hold up well in the elements, so you do not have to worry about the plastic becoming brittle and cracking. <\/p>\n
