With the stock hood off, you have a few options. The one i've seen some people suggest is a Aqua C remora nano. |

You can still do the Biocube without the hood. But yea you can probally use any I would think.

It's generally a good idea to avoid most skimmer with airstones. I've personally had bad experiences with them as well, but not really due to performance but mostly upkeep. Clogging airstones, etc.
If you want to keep the stock hood, it may be one of the few options. You could also possible cut the back out of the canopy and use a hang on as well. |

Biocube skimmer sucks.
The question is why do you need a skimmer in such a small tank? Do water changes and set up a good clean filtration area. No skimmer is needed. |
