I've seen a lot of nano skimmers and to be honest most of them have been both expensive and perform poorly. I've finally found one I actually think works well enough to recommend and isn't grossly overpriced, and I already was running an airstone in my nano so I didn't even need to add a pump. I'm not in anyway affilated with this, just thought I'd share with the community.

Installed in my IM 20G tank using a Whisper 20-40G air pump to drive it. The pump is too big for the skimmer even with the included adjustable air valve so I tossed a 2nd one in and that lets me dial it back enough. The glass is too thick for the included mounting bracket but you can attach it to the plastic chamber divider.
