Nano Skimmer

[tntdsol]

I am looking for an inexpensive HOB skimmer for a 10 gallon nano. There will be no fuge so it has to be HOB. Thanks in advance for the help!

I know you mention inexpensive, but what are you willing to spend?

Outside the tank hang on or inside hang on?

If you're looking for cheap then taam rio makes one for around $30

Honestly you can easily manage a 10 with just WC's and avoid the headache of skimmer maintenance but if you're dead set on a skimmer then suggestions will come.

Lol. I got into this hobby and realized nothing is "cheap". Lets say below 150$. I will look at the 30$ one just out of curiosity. I am not dead set on a skimmer and will most likely mange with just WC. However I am not 100% decided yet.

my neighbor has the eshopps psk 75H on his 40 gal breeder and likes it alot. its quiet and pulls dark nog. He used to have my old warner marine on it (too big for him asthetically) and before that he had a remora (loud/inconsistent).

check for more reviews on the PSK

Which remora did he have? I have heard good things about them!

The standard aqua c with the mj1200.

They are loud and the injectors on them are touchy and need frequent cleaning. They skim but they would not be high on my list.
