Skimmer for Coralife Biocube 14?

[Texas Reefer]

What do y'all suggest? I'd prefer something that doesn't hang on the back...

I'll be getting mine today for my 12g nano. I'll keep you posted.

Cool, thanks.

Just installed it. A lot of bubbles! We'll see if it pulls any skimmate out in the next week or so.

Sapphire skimmers were the best for this size. They are tough to find now though

Well mine is bubbling the way it's supposed to. I guess that's something.

Awesome, what's the brand?

It's a Coralife nano skimmer. Overall it doesn't really get good reviews but I basically got it for free so I'm giving it a try. The real test will be to see if it produces any skimmate!

I tried three nano skimmers.

Cadlightd PLS-50. The micro bubbles were terrible.
Tunze 9001. Works just,....ok. If you have a real light,..... fish load, it will be fine.

Finally tried the Aquamaxx HOB- 1.

I know you may not want a HOB skimmer, but it works fantastic !
Works so well, I bought another !

I have the intake in the first section and the exit in the second chamber.
Zero,.......bubbles and it takes out the most nasy gunk !
Very,.....quiet, easy to clean and adjust as well.

I know that's the best one. I'll probably get it at some point.
