I do agree that water changes is the best way to go with such a small tank.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I checked out the links and there are some cool little skimmers. I wonder if anyone has made a DIY nano skimmer?

Lots of DIY out there. Search DIY mame skimmer, and there are a bunch of videos and build threads. Most seem to be taking a small plastic bottle, cut the bottom out, put airline with a wooden airstone in, have a tube from the top out to a collection cup. They seem to actually collect gunk. If you give it a whirl, take a few pics and share it!

Along with whatever gunk a small skimmer like that will collect, it will also add to the dissolved oxygen levels in your system and that's always a good thing.

On a 5 gallon is a skimmer really worth it considering you can do water changes so easily a 50% wc is like 2 gallons of water and super quick
just my 2 cents
