Agreed. If you want it to be a real killer nano, I think a skimmer would be beneficial. heck, look on ebay even, theyre cheap for used ones. Just slap a new powerhead on one!

I tried a fission on the 5.5 and the nano cube for me regular water changes are less of a hassle

I thought the same thing until i got a few more fish in the water lol

[dobejazz]

yeah my tanks have a pretty light fish load

I had a skimmer on a 5 gallon hex.I would put one on a 1 gallon tank.
