Anyone using one ?
Is it any good or worth the money and what does it actually do in practise ?

You see many of these used in aquariums, even (especially) by pros. Only relatively cheap tool to guarantee a clean, film-free surface.

What sort of things would you be looking at to resolve this then? Genuine interest as I have this issue.Or you could just make sure your plants and tank are healthy and no film forms. The organic film on the surface is a sign something is wrong.
Well... no plant/cell death is a first step. Here's a good read: http://www.skepticalaquarist.com/neustonWhat sort of things would you be looking at to resolve this then? Genuine interest as I have this issue.
If only it were that easy!Or you could just make sure your plants and tank are healthy and no film forms. The organic film on the surface is a sign something is wrong.
Well, I guess everything helps, especially when you run 20 display tanks. However I had a few times oil at the surface without visible problems (or consequences)... not sure why.However, I keep on seeing Eheim skimmers used on the tanks of people such as Viktor from Green Aqua, and many other amazing tanks which don't appear to have any unhealthy plants.
