nano protein skimmer suggestions?

[lazycouch]

hello everyone. i am looking for some advice on a good protein skimmer for a 10 gallon aio tank? does anyone have experience with a hob or in tank protein skimmer in a tank this small? if so what would you recommend? it is currently my frogfishes tank but i plan on making it a frag tank as well. thanks for any help!

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.

Same:
Ice cap K-1 or K2-50

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.
