Not too long ago I had a thread about the best nano skimmer. Now for fun what I'm really interested in which skimmer walks the walk. Darkest sludge wins bragging rights.

Set some baselines here, ideally this is for nano aquariums which by reef central standards is 34 gallons and under. In order to get an idea of what you're working with I'd like a quick description of your tank(including fish stock to get an idea of bio load) and a picture of your skimmer cup. If you see a skimmer you own posted already feel free to post yours again, you may have better results and it's worth noting and hopefully figuring out why.

This is all for fun and informative purposes and to crown the best nano skimmer.

Enjoy everyone and happy reefing. :wave:

Wouldn't this fall under equipment?

You could gear it there but I'm hoping to help out a lot of nano refers with future purchases.

Haha seriously right. Except you'd be lucky to see inside the tank with those damn skimmers :P

My PSK75h pulls out skimmate that is as dark as coffee, I just cleaned out the cup today but once I get some decent skimmate in a day or so I'll post a picture. I have it set up on my 20g long frag tank.

Looking forward to it. I've heard good things about those skimmers overall.
