Popular Nano Skimmers

[Marco]

Been away from here for a while. I just broke my prizm skimmer beyond repair. I have been using it on my 10 gal. nano. Can you guys give me some recomendations on a good nano skimmer or should I just get another prizm?

If the Prizm skimmer you had was working good you might just as well get another one. However the AquaC Nano Remora seems like a really good skimmer for smaller tanks but is a little more expensive them the Prizm.

The Tunze Nano is getting good reviews. I tried it but unfortunately I could not fit it in the sump area in my aquapod. I modified it to put a another powerhead and loc-line on the right side. I had to get a HOB on the back skimmer. I sent the Tunze back and got a Remora Nano. It's a little louder than what i wanted but it's skimming like a champ.

i have read from some people that they had placed the tunze in the rear of the aquapod... by how close was it to having it fit there?

 

[mattseattle]

well it wouldn't fit because i modded mine and added a bulkhead to the right side. i think if i had not had that in there then it would've fit.

Sapphire Aquatics makes skimmers custom fit for the NC12 and NC24 and I hear they're making coming out with one for the BioCube 29 sometime this week. It's been a hot topic on nano-reef the last couple of weeks.
