    Hey Everyone,

    I have a 24 gallon Aquapod and am looking to get a nano protein skimmer for it. Anyone have any suggestions of ones that have worked well for them?

    Thanks

    Anyone know if the Tunze will fit in the back of a 24g Aquapod?

    Also, does anyone else have any suggestions for nano skimmers? The Tunze is a little on the expensive side for me, but if that is recommended I will get it (as long as it fits).

    9002s are awesome, worth every penny. I'd get one for a nano, as long as I knew it'd fit.

    Not sure if it ill fit, but I love my Hydor Slim Skim nano (rated for up to 35 gallons). It measures 12" H (plus about 1/2" higher for the cup) x 3 1/8" W x 3 1/8" L.
