Thanks!Definitely the Bubble Magus mini Q.
Quiet, you simple plug it in and it works within minutes., cheap too.
It is really simple to use, yes it has instructions but you really don't need them.Thanks!
I think I found it:

Also, does it come with instructions? Because I don't know anything about protein skimmers. How do I clean it? What is the procedure?
Why not do both?Why not just do water changes. That would be the easiest.
Po4 is more likely the issue, and water changes for po4 are not the most efficient.I find it hard to believe that in a 20 gallon tank with regular water change that nitrate is high. Unless extremely stocked with fish.
Which is pretty much the same thing as removing nitrate and phosphate when looking at it from a long-term system point of view. Organics that are gone can't turn into nitrate and phosphate later.In case someone reading this thread doesnt know…Skimmers do not remove nitrates or phosphates
Water changes yes. Skimmers no.
Skimmers remove organics
You defiantly don't need it. But its a nice feature that helps pull more gunk out that the mechanical filtration missed. Even larger particles can still get past filter floss.My opinion is that a skimmer is not necessary on a 20 gallon. If you enjoy tinkering with the equipment then go for it, but the money spent on a skimmer would buy a lot of salt and water.
Bubble Magus mini Q. I have 3 protein skimmers for my nano AIO tanks. This one is by far the easiest to dial in and did not require a break in period. It was silet and produce little to no micro bubbles.What is the best protein skimmer for a FOWLR 20 gallon long tank that is not noisy or complicated to use?
...and it will help when that weekly WC gets skipped when you get busy doing something else.You defiantly don't need it. But its a nice feature that helps pull more gunk out that the mechanical filtration missed. Even larger particles can still get past filter floss.
If you have a habit of overfeeding like me. Its a must lol.
WCs allow organics to build up in between WCs, during which time algae can grab nutrients and overall water quality declines. Stability is especially hard to achieve in a tiny volume of water, so a skimmer is a great tool.Why not just do water changes. That would be the easiest.
