I do but I have been having a huge alge problemJust do frequent water changes, no need for skimmer on such a small tank.
I have my lid on mine. How much does that skimmer cost?I use a Tunze 9001 DC in my display. It kicks the occasional stream of micro bubbles when it first turns on but it’s incredible. However, I do not use the lid on my BioCube.

Skimmers for nano tanks don't work that great.

And it will work fine for a 16 gallonRight now it’s on sale. About $140

What would I get for a 16 gallonI disagree.
The idea that nano's don't need a skimmer and can easily be managed with water changes is ludicrous. It totally depends on bio-load and the coral in your tank. If water changes are not enough of an export, then the next logical addition would be a protein skimmer.
If I pulled my skimmer and did water changes as my only export, I fully believe my tank would crash. If I didn't dose 2-part, I'm at the point where my tank would crash. Every tank is different.

Well I am not just making this up, this is from anecdotal experience. I have 2 small tanks that have never had skimmers and one of which is biocube 32. I have managed both the tanks with large and frequent water changes. Putting a skimmer in a bio cube is a nightmare, if you have a 16 gallon tank and do a 5 to 8 gallon water change every 2 weeks I believe it would export the same as a small crappy skimmer would. I am not saying skimmer aren't great, I have one on my main tank and I love it.The idea that nano's don't need a skimmer and can easily be managed with water changes is ludicrous.
