Guide Review - Precision Marine HOT-1
The Precision Marine HOT-1 is a hang-on-tank skimmer that combines the benefits of both counter current and venturi protein skimming. The quality of materials and construction are well above average. Due to the design, adjustment and routine maintenance is simple. If there is a down side to this skimmer, it is a bulky unit that requires ample room for installation, but can also be installed free-standing if this is a problem.
