I have a question

I was wondering if the Fission Nano Skimmer would be over kill on my 2.5 gallon tank? The Hob filter has a sponge and chemi-pure in it. Would the Fission Nano Skimmer fit in my 2.5 gal tank as well or is it to big?

Thanks

The amount of water it pulled out and the bubbles in the display far out weighed any benefit __________________ Kelli
