    Basically what the title says. Do you think it would be beneficial to put a biocube protein skimmer in my 10 gallon nano?

    Has anyone ever done this before? Putting it in something that is not a biocube?

    Is it worth the 40-50 dollars it would cost?

    Thanks

    Would it be possible, probably yes. Would the benefit outweigh the cost and ugliness? No probably not. Save your money for live stock and salt for regular/routine water changes.

    I had a bio cube skimmer in a 10 gallon for a while. The skimmer itself is OK, but it is a little unsightly. I guess for what it is it's not bad. It does collect a decent foam so it wouldn't hurt anything. But really I'd just stick with live rock and routine water changes....... just my opinion though
