saphier aquatics but I think they are getting hard to come by

I've heard the Tunze 9002 recommended for nanos quite a bit.

I have a AquaC Remora skimmer on my 29ish Bowfront.
I do NOT recommend it - It is very loud, and skims extremely wet. Mostly water in the collection cup.

+1

It's also the most expensive though.

My AquaC Remora Pro also is very loud, but skims great. Do the regular remoras come with the adjustable o-ring to raise/lower the collection cup? My Pro would definitely skim way too wet if I didn't have the positioner O-ring.

Mine skims very well. I put some filter floss over the compartment with the sprayer.

Mine skims very well. I put some filter floss over the compartment with the sprayer and use the third compartment as a media holder for some GFO

Euro Reef sells custom ones for the nano's . Go to Reef Dynamics and e-mail them the company has split up Jeff does the ER's and his father does the nano's.

On a 24 gallon.....you dont have to have a skimmer. Just make some water changes. But if you do need one. You can never go wrong with the TUNZE

+1, I run a 9002 on my 30 and am very happy with it. But, with good water changes you can get away without a skimmer.
