SunSun JY-02 Skimmer

SunSun JY-02

Compact Aquarium Surface Skimmer

The SunSun JY-02 is a compact surface skimmer designed to remove floating debris, surface film and other impurities from the top layer of aquarium water.

By continuously drawing water from the surface, the JY-02 helps keep the waterline cleaner and can improve surface circulation and gas exchange. Its compact design makes it particularly useful for planted aquariums, aquascapes and smaller freshwater setups.

Key Features

Effective Surface Skimming

The JY-02 draws water from the aquarium surface, helping collect:

• Surface oil film

• Dust and floating debris

• Small plant leaves and waste

• Other unwanted particles accumulating at the waterline

Keeping the surface clear also allows better light penetration into the aquarium.

Adjustable Water Flow

The skimmer is designed with adjustable flow control, allowing the intake strength to be tuned according to the aquarium and surface conditions.

This makes it easier to maintain effective skimming without creating unnecessarily strong circulation.

Automatic Surface-Level Adjustment

The floating intake mechanism follows changes in the aquarium's water level, helping maintain consistent surface skimming during normal water-level fluctuations.

Compact & Energy Efficient

With only 3W power consumption and a compact body, the JY-02 provides dedicated surface-skimming performance without taking up much space inside the aquarium.

Optional Air Injection

The JY-02 can also be used with an air injector to increase surface agitation and support gas exchange where required.

It can also be used alongside an existing canister or internal filter as a dedicated surface-cleaning device.

Why Add a Surface Skimmer?

A persistent layer of surface film can interfere with light penetration and surface gas exchange. The JY-02 continuously removes water from the surface, helping maintain a cleaner and clearer waterline while reducing the need for manual surface cleaning.

Its small footprint and low power consumption make it a practical addition when surface cleanliness is a priority without wanting a large piece of equipment inside the aquarium.
