Nano Skimmer

Was surfing, reading about my new Trimma Goby and found this sight.

It shows a Nano skimmer for reef tanks under 20g. I thought it was pretty cool.

This is the actual web sight.

I have a nano skimmer that I used in my 22 gallon nano reef, it was very hard to control the level because of evaporation. You must have a consistent water level in order to to the skimmer working, because as the water level drops, the foam, will not spill over into the collection cup. It takes daily maintenence.

Installing an Automatic Top Off system (aka ATO: there are several DIY ways to do it) would likley keep the water level variation within efficient operational range for a small skimmer. Not to mention it would help preventing drastic changes in salinity.

I am still fine-tuning my nano skimmer (Resun SK-05), Kalk reactor ATO.
