Re: mini protein skimmer

Every thread that I've read says those nano skimmers aren't very good regardless even if its a good company.Its maybe because of the contact time of the micro-bubbles in the skimmer chamber.To short of time and little to no skimmate.Do water changes regularly is what I would recommend.

Re: mini protein skimmer

I agree. Nano skimmers aren't worth it. At least, I haven't heard of one yet that is.
