High End Nano Skimmers

[E.intheC]

What's out there regarding the latest and greatest nano sized skimmers?

Thanks

I saw that ATB has a Mikro version but you have to special order them.

The i-Tech 100 would probably be too large for a 25 gallon tank, although it's my favorite skimmer to date.

I couldn't find anything from Warner Marine, vertex, BK, Octo SRO line, Reef Dynamics, Deltec, etc... Lol. I might have to make my own

Air driven skimmers seem to be making a come back and theres a few for the nano crowd. Some cool glass ones for that ADA look. ATB, Mame, Glazer, Gnome.

I'm pretty happy with my bubble magus NAC 3.5 cone skimmer. I acquires it through the owner of I-tech which also happens to be the owner of my LFS. He seemed moderately impressed with the nac 3.5 (although he is a perfectionis when it comes to his skimmer line), he did note one flaw about the neck, but also mentioned he couldn't build a better nano skimmer for anywhere near the price. I beleive you can pick one up under 200. Once broken in and fine tuned, it pulled out a much darker skimmer then my octopus nwb-150 did, on the same water volume. Quality build also.

What pump does the bubble magus skimmer come with? Most are Atmans and I'm not a fan of those pumps.
That's interesting about the owner of i-Tech saying that though.

I beleive it's an atman 1100. Have you had problems with these pumps? Mines been going strong for 2 years with an occasional cleaning and one vinegar bath.

I'm using a bubble magus 3.5 as well. It's in a 10gal sump on a 33 gallon tank. I also like it and have had no problems with the pump so far. There is a similar model on ebay that are half the price with the same pumps. I'd also like to know about a higher end skimmer, but this is doing the job for now. Only complaints would be the pumps a little noisy and i dont really care for how the neck connects to the cup. I almost went with the swc120, but it has the same pump and costs a little more.
