Yep skimmer -- the Oceanic one, works great for this tank (much better than it does in the oceanic BC 14 )

All in the photo:

Chamber 1: heater, bag of GFO, bag of Carbon
Chamber 2: skimmer
Chamber 3: chaeto (on a "tray" sitting on top of the pump)
Output: Hydor FLO rotating deflector

Water level in the back kept at the chamber 2->3 overflow level -- which is good for the chaeto and seems ideal for the skimmer... skimmer makes very thick buildup, not much liquid, which is ideal for such a small system.

Default Questions about nano chillers

Thanks that helped alot I tried it in C1 but its a bugger to deal with. I am doing my weekly change out tuesday, so I will swap er then haha.
I do have a question for anyone out there who uses Chillers on nano tanks, my tank at night sits at about 79.2 F recently I have discovered, that with the warmer weather if I do not take percautions to close my room door, the tank may get as high as 85.6 F. Im a little worried about this and would like to know the best solution to correct it, I am planning on an LED upgrade with stunnerpros from Modular but until then I need a solution.
Thanks for the help everyone, and hope to hear some responses soon.
