Here’s a look at ATB’s newest cone skimmer that has been designed with the nano reef crowd in mind. This skimmer stands just 18.5″ tall (47 cm) and has a footprint, including the pump, of just 7.8″ x 11.8″ (20 x 30cm). At this time we are unsure of the name this model will bear, but the words “Nano” and “Mikro” have been used to describe it. We are partial to the Mikro name… hopefully it sticks.
Unlike other cone skimmers currently available, this ATB model utilizes a seamless cone shape through the body and neck.
Like its larger siblings, the ATB Nano (Mikro) can be completely cleaned thanks to the removable base plate which gives access to the skimmer body and bubble plate.
Despite the small size, ATB is rating the Mikro / Nano cone skimmer for aquariums up to 158 gallons (600 liters). In addition, these will be made available in three colors: white, red and black. Expected availability in the U.S. and throughout Europe is 3-4 weeks. Pre-orders are currently being taken from ATB Skimmers.
