What we liked

  • + Listing describes removal of oily surface film, which helps gas exchange and light reaching plants.
  • + Floating intake follows the water level, and a flow slider and intake dial adjust skimming strength.
  • + Compact body fits rimmed or rimless tanks, with a fine sponge and modular parts for cleaning.

Trade-offs

  • - It is a powered unit, so it needs an outlet and a hang position and adds a visible part to the scape.
  • - Rated up to 105 gallons, so it is more skimmer than a very small nano tank needs.
