Skimmer to use with 24Gal Nanocube

[idog]

I was just wondering if anyone had some advice on Skimmers. I would like to get a skimmer to help reduce the amount of my water changes. I have the 24gal Nanocube and would like to know if anyone knows of a skimmer that will fit and not require any hood mods. I know of the Fission nano-skimmer but have read too many posts saying it is crap.

Anyone know of any others that work well in a Nano?

I think it is rather difficult to get a good skimmer that you can attach to a cube... that is one of the major reasons why i dont consider them when i am out lookin at tanks.

However, you may want to check out this thread... http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.p ... 58540&st=0

It is like 18 pages, but i know that they discuss a version that will work in a cube.

HTH,

I only saw that skimmer on the outside of the tank. That won't work in a closed nanocube.

The only type of skimmer that will work is the nano fussion skimmer, and I agree with you, that it's not that good.

Stick with water changes or work on a sump that could yield you a skimmer on the sump and not have to do major DIY on your hood.

Well i dont know if this is of any help but if i had the ability of doing DIY i probably do this guy DIY'S look how he put that skimmer over there and 2 things that skimmer really works i have seen it a girl using it in her nano at my LFS and works other things is that is not expensive at all.

Actually mike he mentioned a version that had the pump in one chamber pumping the water up and over into the skimmer in th enext chamber.
