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

Grab a rio nano skimmer, it takes some time to adjust but actually works on a tank that small. Plus they are like 35$

I've been using a Hydor Slim Skim on a 22 gallon quarantine tank and it's pretty good. Even the small model might be too much for a 5 gallon though.
