Skimmer for an eclipse
 
I am keeping fish only in a 19 gallon eclipse so would like to keep the canopy on it. Is there any skimmer that will fit into this set up?

Only one so far is a lees air skimmer and it is just hanging in the front of tank so looks like crap. Anyone got a better idea?

I couldn't find one that I thought would do the trick on my 24g so what I decided was that I would just go ahead and buy a Remora and only use it during the day when I am at work. I take it off at night and put it in a bucket.

My question is why in the world would you worry about a skimmer :question: So far I have had great success with anything I wanted to keep without ever having a skimmer. This especially in a fish only tank. If worse comes to worse you could do water changes, which would be cost effective in a 19 gallon tank. :rolleyes:

The fish are cuttlefish :biggrin:

I ordered 2 of those fission skimmers. One is going into my 3.5G tank if it'll fit. I hate doing water changes and my 5 fish really put out a load in the nano tank.

That's true. I'm looking for a funnel that I can attach to the tank so that I can feed the tank more easily. I can also remove the lid from my Aquaclear and put flakes into the unit and have the food fall into the tank that way.
