Does anyone use a Fission Nano Skimmer?


I just ordered one and it should be here soon. I'm putting it in my 10G Nano. I don't know a whole lot about skimmers, so will I be ok still running a powerhead, or will the skimmer move the water, too?

they are a poor quality skimmer, i would recommend returning it. very hard to tune in and even harder to keep tuned. they will drain your tank. i recommend a Remora instead.

It says it's submersible. How would it drain the tank? Does it come back through the air line?

the skimmer cup fills very fast. it re-defines wet skimming. trust me, it is a piece o' crud.

I have also heard it is not good, but since it goes in the tank it should not drain it. (cup would just overflow back into the tank)

I would reccomend getting a AquaC or something over this skimmer any day, but as far as skimming goes I firmly beleive anything is better than nothing.

I tried to use it in my 5.5 gallon (It fit in the HOB filter) but the micro bubbles drove me nuts so it's just laying around here somewhere
