I just purchase a 12 gal nano. It's a great looking tank,but came with no instruction so to speak. It does have 4 chambers in the back and had things stuffed in them.Sponge ceramic rings,characoal,bioballs & a pump.(160) Lights are 670K/10,000K Daylight and 420nm/460nm Actinic.I assumed one of the chambers was to be used as a built in protien skimmer somehow.I know I can add a heater,not a problem,but do I use all the items it came with or is it up to what I want. I have used a protien skimmer on a 30gal.tank before. My main concern is the protien skimmer. Can anyone help.

I have the same tank, I purchased the protien skimmer. In the first chamber I left the sponge, I took the ceramic rings out of the second chamber and put my skimmer in there. I took the bio balls out of the third chamber and left the charcoal in. I've been told I can put my heater in there, but it touches my charcoal bag and I'm not sure if thats o.k. so I took it out and put it on the back wall of my tank. That was the advise I got from others in here. It seems to all work.
Good luck.
