Skimmer for 6g Aquarium
Hello,
Any suggestions for a skimmer for a 6q aquarium? I was looking at the Bak-Pak 2 and ordered one from Drs. F&S, but they discontinued carrying them. Along with being efficient, low noise is a must. Thanks for your time, Don |

I wouldnt even run one...Water changes are all you need on such a small system..A simple gallon water change once a week takes care of everything..

Dont waste your money and time on a skimmer for a 6g tank. Just do regular water changes. Im with mcgyvr on this.

As others have stated, on a tank that small you really don't need one.
But if your heart is set on getting one, I have one of these on my IM Lagoon 25 frag tank. Works great! http://www.eshopps.com/products/prot...p/nanoskimmer/
