nano skimmer

[Noah Hemingway]

I am trying to find a nano skimmer for a 20G for a friend. The best one I can seem to find in his budget is the aqua one 40 nano skimmer. However this says it’s only rated up to 10 Gallon tanks! He is also running a wave maker, HOB filter and a UV steriliser so do you think it will be okay? If not do you have any alternative ideas? Have to be under £60 & available in for the UK

Usually you don't wanna skimp on nano skimmers. The higher-end are pretty finicky anyway. I don't think the lower-cost ones would be worth the money/space tbh.

Any recommendations?

I have found an Eheim skimmer suitable for up to 40 gallons so I think i’m going to suggest that one

I'm a Tunze person myself. I'd get the biggest Tunze you can fit. Just make sure you keep water level constant bc they are finicky about that.

Dymax IQ skimmer. Been eyeballing it myself.

That looks quite good for the price to be fair

I agree. I just found it recently while browsing YouTube. It’s very simple and unfortunately there isn’t a ton of info or reviews on it. So, it may be worth the risk. Compared to the reef glass with the cork top going for almost 100 bucks.

In my 20g; 90l I have Tunze skimmer 9004.

Icecap K1 nano

I will second the Icecap K1 nano, I run it on my cube 20 and it is a skimming beast.
