Good question. I have been looking into this as well. I like the design of the IceCap K-1 nano and am leaning that way, but interested in other opinions.

In case you haven't seen this, nano skimmers are being discussed here too.

I would opt for a refugium in the chamber where you planned to put the skimmer in, and forget the skimmer.
Put a Tunze underwater refugium LED in the chamber and some chaeto and you're good to go.
Nano skimmers are a hassle (adjusting, cleaning, not that efficient) and noisy. Forget the stories "mine is quiet". They aren't.
