skimmer recommendation

[airedwin]

Does anyone have any recommendation for a hang on skimmer for a nano tank? I'm looking at the Bubble Magus QQ1, is there any other options?

I would look into to the tunze skimmers. I used to have a tunze 9004 DC and it worked very well.

I have the Coralife Biocube v2 skimmer and it works very well. It is small, quiet, efficient, and cheap. It is not a hang on skimmer though.

Fijicube makes a couple to compliment their AIO kits. I have one and it works good:

I got myself an aquamaxx 1.5 a few months ago for my 32. I chose this one due to the excellent reputation, and I'm very happy with it.

I had no idea fijicube made those. Could you tell us a little bit more about ? It is quite? How hard was it to tune? How’s does the skimmate look?

Mine is very quiet... even more so now that it's connected to a CO2 scrubber. Tuning is simple, you just rotate the cup, just takes a second. Skimmate is what you'd expect from any skimmer after it breaks in. Granted, mine is a little on the lighter side, but it's on the frag tank with a bioload of 2 fish (Hippo Tang and Sixline Wrasse).

Wanted to check back with you on this and see how that Fiji cube skimmer is doing for you if you still use it. Let’s revive this dead thread!

I would highly recommend not getting a skimmer and get yourself a algae scrubber
