Jan May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 I'm looking for a tiny skimmer for my 3 gallon pico. What are you using for yours? Does anyone know anything about this one? Mame Skimmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.eclipse May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 do you really need a skimmer in that size tank? weekly water changes should be more then enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 I don't know anything specific about that one... but it's pretty, so it has that going for it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan May 30, 2012 Author Share May 30, 2012 I don't like the oily slick that floats on the top. I've already got flow pointing to the surface to move it around, but a protein skimmer would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 I dont use a skimmer on a 14 I have at work. There is a difference in using a skimmer. I wouldn't put one on a pico unless there were SPS in the tank or alot of livestock. If running a filter put a 100 ml bag of purigen in there. You wont have any film on the top after that. Pico's are so small, any equipment you put in the display is an eyesore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.eclipse May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 how about a surface skimmer? the water flows over an overflow and get sucked up by a filter, like an AC20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.eclipse May 31, 2012 Share May 31, 2012 this also could work, but may be a little bulky in a pico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
