If you're looking for a skimmer that fits chamber 2, that actually performs, the AquaMaxx WS-1 (or new 1.5/2) are real skimmers. You either need to leave the back hatch open or have the top off (you have your top off already), but man, it's a mean skimmer, and it's the first nano skimmer I've used that makes skimmate that smells like skimmate.

That being said, I'm still always contemplating whether it would be better to run an algal turf scrubber or a skimmer, and have never finalized on what would be best, but for now I have this skimmer and it works really well. I've been feeding a lot more, and have no algae issues other than my bubble algae that grows whether or not there's nutrients.
