WTB Hang on Skimmer

[DrBoxedWine]

I'm having a cyano issue in my 20g QT tank and i'm looking to get an HOB skimmer. Does anyone have one that could suit my needs? I'd love to trade, or just potentially buy it?

Thanks, email is best richarddfrey@gmail.com

Idk if you need a skimmer, you might consider just adding a powerhead for more flow to reduce dead spots

Have a deltec HOB skimmer. Probably overkill for a 20g though.

Thanks Cameron, I've been reading up on Cyano, and it sounds like you need a skimmer to take it out of the water when you shut the lights off?

Increased water changes and flow will usually eliminate cyano. Cyano is caused by low flow and excessive nutrients. Flow obviously changed by repositioning powerheads or adding another, nutrient export via water changes or as you're looking for one a HOB skimmer can help accomplish this. When faced with cyano your best plan of attack should start with finding the root cause. In my experience with nano tanks overfeeding and too small of or not enough water changes brought about my outbreaks.

Thanks! I'll add a powerhead this evening
