With a 15-20 AIO you won’t find to much advanced level equipment - not sure if you’re comparing to a sump skimmer like a Nyos that will run ya a couple hundred dollars. Now, there are several options, but it depends on what you’re looking for: sleek and unnoticeable but not the best performance, or large bulky with a better components for a better skim/adjustability. A reef glass skimmer is probably as small as you can go, works off an air stone, and the collection cup for skim can really be anything since it is not directly attached to the body of the skimmer. Not sure what the dimensions for your baffle are, but a IM desktop skimmer is also an option. Hope this helps.
ill check them out thank you so much !! reef octopus doesnt make a nano skimmer? I care more about my water quality than how it looks but if there is a skimmer that can preform well and not an eye sore i would go for that as well! Also how are the sicce pumpps ? i know for a fact the stock return pumps that come with the waterboxes is not going to do it for me lol
These are the skimmers i found...thoughts ?
Just remember to check the footprint of each skimmer and see if it will fit in one of the back slots. Most AIO's are only usually 3-4 inches deep in the back compartments. The AquaMaxx NF-1 and Tunze 9001 may not fit not fit. Not sure if you bought your tank yet or not, but if you have not you can always reach out to the maker of the tank you are looking to get to get the measurements of the back compartments. Then once you have those build out your equipment list from there.
i was actually looking at the ICE Kap K1 nano skimmer? is this better than the aquamax NF1?
i am sold on the ice cap nano skimmer... I am going to get the waterbox 15g peninsula tank.. i have to get the exact dimensions but i believe it will fit
Check out aquamax bullet-1
better than the ice cap nano ?
Don't know. Don't have Ice Cap. I just picked up a Aquamax Bullet and it fits the back of my IM 10! It's a HOB Skimmer with Sicce pump

No. I wasn't even specifically looking to buy it at this time (not planning on using it immediately in my nano) but saw the deal and couldn't let it pass. To be honest, I'm not sure I'm going to use it. I need to do some mods to it to fit inside my WB nano. I think it's doable but was curious what others have done so I posted in an old thread but haven't gotten any responses....The skimmer is nicely built. I think they've updated it recently to make the design better. I hope I can get it to work.
it should fit inside the waterbox 15g peninsula...which waterbox do you have ?
It does fit but not w/ the included magnet and brace. I've been thinking about it. I'm pretty sure it's an easy mod to built up some egg crate and set the skimmer on it at the preferred water level. I have the PM 15. Is this what you have too?
