Yor running this skimmer on the nano? Should work ok, as long as you can get it to skim consistantly.

That skimmer/filter combo was the fist skimmer I used too. Work sometimes, and just a pain in the but most of the time. Great find to run on a nano for free though! Let us know how it works for you.

how much should the air contral be pull out to run right?

[Sir Patrick]

Cant recall- your gonna have to mess with it and see. I had mine running about 12 years ago.

This is a long time ago, but if memory serves, I believe we retrofitted them by drilling a hole in the plastic cover straight down into the collection tube. Ran a piece of rigid airline tubing down it with an airstone at the bottom all connected to an air pump. Really increased the output, as I recall. Worked pretty well in the olden days and if it is free, take it!
