[fish crazy]

I use the Fission Nano Skimmer works great for me.

hey i dont no much about the jbj nano design but i have a oceanic biocube skimmer in my 29gal u might be able to put it in the back or something and it works great

for the jbj check out the saphire skimmer. it is way better than the fission skimmer. It sits in the first compartment. It is a high quality skimmer for this and works well. they are around $100 though.

Protein skimmers help remove dissolved organic waste in the water. Which helps keep the ammonia and nitrite down.

I am not sure about your tank design either, but I also have the Oceanic Nano Skimmer in my 29 Biocube and it works great. I have heard alot of bad things about that fission skimmer so beware of it, just what I hear no personal experience with it. The Sapphire Skimmer is a great skimmer also, it is alot bigger than the Oceanic and alot more money, in my area they run about 145, and the Oceanic skimmer was 32 and it does work great. Good Luck

euroreef is also coming out with a nano skimmer that will fit in the back compartments of mose of the larger cube setups. Suposedly, it's much better than any of the others... which isnt saying all too much from what i have seen.
good luck with it though
