    I have the mini 115 too, does anyone have any problems with this thing shooting out micro bubbles?

    I did slightly, but I put a white sponge thing in front of the outlet and cleared it all up.

    I have the aquatic life 115 on my 20 gal and it seems to do pretty good. I can't get it to skim very dry but it definately works. I got it for like $30 on ebay.

    IF you want a skimmer for a nano, you can get a Oceanic Protien Skimmer, it is for the biocube but people use it on other nano tanks. I have one on my 29g biocube. It works alright but i should get another. I am doing 5g weekly water changes and nitrates stay under 5ppm.
