anyone using a nano skimmer?

[thing1]

Just curious how effective it is. I've got a 15gl tank w/ a 10gl sump. Will this nano skimmer work? or should I get something a bit bigger

Every post that I have seen here, and all other forums clearly reflects the fact that almost all feel its a useless piece of junk. THus, I never bought one.and its been discussed frequently.

thanks, that's all I need to know to not buy one.

Any suggestions on a good one for this size aquarium?

I contemplated getting the tunze nano DOC skimmer. I heard alot of good reviews, and one bad one. I think the problem with small skimmers is that an important part of skimming is contact time, and a small sized chamber makes this impossible. Compared to what a decent sized skimmer will pull, nano skimmers are crap IME. I think you are better off just putting an ASM or Euroreef (something with at least a 5" chamber) in your 10 g sump.

almost everyone has been happy with a remora and I believe trhey have a new nano version. I make due with water changes.
