    So last night I ordered the Tunze nano skimmer from MarineDepot...I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival!

    Anyone got some input on this skimmer??? From what I understand it's one of the best out there for nanos...other than the remora nano...however the remora tends to give out microbubbles, as the Tunze doesn't.

    Any experience with these?

    Wow a .79 gallon collection cup! Nothing nano about that. It must churn! :) haha.. I want to see your review on it. Tunze generally makes top-notch products.

    I've read good things about it...the Tunze nano was only mentioned on here in a couple of threads, but not in great lengths...I will def. keep you updated with the progress. I'll do a review as soon as it gets here :)

    From what I've read they're suppose to be pretty good. One note: If your aquarium is aged (has an accumulation of dissolved organic compounds in the water), it (from what I've read) won't release any bubbles into the tank.

    Ive been running one for about 2 weeks now and its working great, although they do take about a week to break in and start producing a nice foam ..

    You're welcome. Have you check out "Tunze's Osmolator 3155" and "Nano Filter"?
