Hey guys I'm setting up a 24 gallon lifegard aquatics AIO tank but can't seem to find any equipment for it. The only thing I know of is the intank media basket but I can't find a skimmer for the life of me. I had a 13.5 fluval skimmer but even that was to big. Any type of help with this tank would be helpful. I want run a uv sterilizer and media reactor.

I use a skimmer on my nano. Look up air drive/mame skimmers or reef glass. They do a pretty decent job but run really wet so they can work against you by skimming out NACL. It doesn’t take too much over skimming to drop your SG.

Why a skimmer on a 24g?
Nano shouldn't need any mechanical filtration... weekly waterchange all you need....

As others said, you don’t need a skimmer. But if you really want one, the best nano skimmer I’ve used is the aquamaxx nf-1, it’s got a tiny foot print, is silent, has no micro bubbles, and pulls a lot of skimmate.
