I saw this little nano skimmer when friend of mine asked me to look at a site to see if there was something I needed to be tagged onto the order.I was like no way,this is a Skilter-Skimmer Filter Hybrid. Usualy these things are too good to be true but I looked at some reviews and checked the design and things seemed solid and logical so I decided I would give it a try.I also figured I am pretty good at DIY so at worst I would have to mod it.Here is the product picture and the box pic.pretty snazy Rolling Eyes

This skilter is made for smaller tanks up to 20 gallons and is powered with a mini needle wheel pump.This gets a flow of 100 gallons an hour that is run through an optional filter /carbon cartridge after the skimmers bubble traps.I am contemplating using this area for carbon\purigen but I may just let it ride with a cartridge.Check out this design schematics I found.

The venturi that come attached to the needle wheel pump is rigid plastic but you can put on a valve with a small piece of air line to get a more precise control of the air intake.
