looking for a reasonably priced skimmer for my new 30g nano setup. This is my first ever slat tank so i dont need the best, just something that will work, i have a 10g sump so i would prefer something that can go in or on the sump.

thanks

It might help to post the max dimensions (footprint and height) you can fit in your sump and cabinet.

Dude why even bother with a skimmer for a nano. Really for the amount that you would feed. Having a small tank for fish and corals you are not going to have alot fo fish in there probably corals for a show piece. Trust me doing 5 gallons per week or per every 2 weeks you get more out of it.

I use a Tunze 9002 on my 29 gallon and It works like magic pulls about a cup of skim/week. I am soooo glad I started using a skimmer small tanks don't need much to go sideways on a person

my sump is a standard 10 gallon tank, and i haven't installed the dividers yet so i have a fair amount of room to work with.
