JBJ 28g Nano Skimmer

[globaldesigns]

I had the JBJ 28G, and had a different skimmer for it.

If you use that skimmer, I doubt that you will be able to open the lid. I bought the coralife. I had an older version of this:

Basically I removed the old filter box and placed the pump, which was a MJ1200 in there and then the skimmer just hung on the back. It fit nice, and the lid opened/closed without issue. The skimmer did sit higher than the lid, but oh well, and the skimmer actually worked very well.

I even took it a step further and placed some live rock rubble in that same area on the back just so there was more live rock overall.

Im using a remora skimmer. Fits easily and works great

I use the hydor slimskim nano but it doesn't fit in the back so I placed it in the display and I put a orange monti cap in front to hide it! In a couple months I won't even able to see the skimmer anymore. btw the skimmer works awesome it pulls some of the darkest most smelly skimmate i've ever seen in a nano skimmer. I love it!

With a small tank, unless you want SPS, why not just go with big water changes once a week.
I kept a 30g skimmer less tank for about 5yrs. I would change about 50 % a week. I don't think you would have to change that much unless you have a lot of LPS that you feed often. There are some great skimmer less tanks out there. Just be sure the temp, PH etc. match your tank.

It's cheaper to purchase a skimmer than to replace the salt water constantly with such large water changes.

I have the eshopps psk-75h on mine. It works great. It is rated for 75g so it can easily handle the jbj28.

any chance you have a pic of your set up? I have the same tank and running a chiller as well. Just curious where you mounted your skimmer.

a HOB remora? I'm considering trying my aquaC on the back, depending on how the stock skimmer performs...
