If you really knew what we feel about the "experts" on anything 
Back to topic, you can do a nano BB tank as long as you can provide proper flow and skimming. Yes, that simple.

maybe you could just use an air driven co- current skimmer . simple , but would be very effective in that small of a tank .

I agree on the Co-Current skimmer too, there cheap and effective, plus easy to DIY, if you get a "Luft" pump you could easily adjust the number of bubbles, and it pumps a TUN of air.

OK, how do I integrate this into my nano cube? I have JBJ 12g nano, I'm having trouble seeing this right.
Go topless and hang it on the back?
