Cheap protein skimmer

[LegendaryCG]

I've seen a lot of nano skimmers and to be honest most of them have been both expensive and perform poorly. I've finally found one I actually think works well enough to recommend and isn't grossly overpriced, and I already was running an airstone in my nano so I didn't even need to add a pump. I'm not in anyway affilated with this, just thought I'd share with the community.

Ok Great what is it?

There’s a link in my post it’s some Jarchii air stone skimmer available on Amazon.

Thanks for posting. Do you have any pics? Besides Amazon? I'm interested to see the filtered gunk.

Installed in my IM 20G tank using a Whisper 20-40G air pump to drive it. The pump is too big for the skimmer even with the included adjustable air valve so I tossed a 2nd one in and that lets me dial it back enough. The glass is too thick for the included mounting bracket but you can attach it to the plastic chamber divider.

Still working well for such a cheap skimmer.
