This DIY Nano Stand On Back (SOB) Skimmer and Sump is meant for my 2ft tank.

In my previous DIY Skimmer, I realised that if the outlet is directly from the skimmer, there will be micro bubbles flowing back into the main tank since I'm not using any sump. Thus I decided to have a Nano Stand On Back Sump for the Skimmer and at the same time, reduced or eliminate the micro bubbles back into the main tank.

At the same time, in the Nano Sump, I can also put a bag of PurePhos + Carbon (optional) or have a mini refugium.

Here is the Nano Skimmer;

The Nano Skimmer and Sump is left standing on the back of my 2ft tank. The design is to save space and as I don't wish to have another sump tank below and doing those piping.

The other side view shows the outlet from the Nano Sump. The micro bubbles are totally eliminated.

wow...that's pretty neat man...u just run the air line to get the bubbles right? no injector whatsoever?

Thanks. Yep, juz drill a hole in the pump close to the impeller and put an airline in with an air adjust. Think it's called aspirating method. Thanks to UTR in that Nano forum for the idea. :D
