    helps to filter out the oil and excess dirt of plant cutting on the surface only

    oil, dust, and I think a protein layer that comes from planted tanks only. So if you are having a planted tank, go get one of those, cost $13.50 I think. Do not buy the branded ones. Good investment. Aesthetically pleasing too.

    the taiwanese one you can get from petmart
    as for installation, the instructions and joining apparatus aren't exactly top-notch
    you'll need some commonsense
    for me, i had to cut some tubing and use a cable tie to secure it well (as well as look good ^ ^)
