Fission Nano-Skimmer Protein Skimmer

[WWWD]

Ask Samw, I think he bought one and found it useless.

I tried one as well,it was not very good, I mean it worked a bit. So if very little is better than nothing go for it, but i wouldn't waste your money

So what type of skimmer would you guys recommend for a nano. (14g) I do not think that I will buy one right now but I would like to know which would be a good nano skimmer in case I needed one.

cheers

Yeah, the Fission didn't work well for me.

There are other options, Sapphire and AquaC Nano (though I haven't tried them since I no longer keep a nano).

I think for a nano frequent water changes are more helpful than a skimmer would be....

How well do the Fission nano-skimmers works?
Hmmm, to put it lightly - CRAP - I have one the only this it managed to pull out of my tank was about 10 gallons of water adn dump it all over the floor while I was at work.
The thing requires way to much tunning and is way to finicky to be of much use. I even had a coralife super skimmer dialed in and workig great as a HOB skimmer - no problems to tune the coralife, but for the life of me I could not get those fission to work well or consistently.

If you are looking for nano skimmers. There is also a new one from Rio. Stay tuned I just hooked it up on my 10 gallon. Want to see how it compares to my remora aqua c (not the nano remora, been thinking of that one tho). Best thing about the Rio nano skimmer, price.
It is only $30 bucks - canadian.
