I would suggest this...

SKIMZ IBOX NANO IB8 2G

mainly because of the over flow box. This prevents the algae film on the surface so its really a ++;

I'm not sure about the lights though if its enough. This will depend what will you be keeping in the tank.

what about Dymax IQ3 and IQ5? Any reason why it is not on this list for your consideration?

But if just this 3, then my choice is the Shimz, which I think should be quite obvious in the poll. Look neat ans slick

The reason I did not include the DYMAX IQ is becos the design is exactly the same as SKIMZ

Bro choose a name

I think ECOPICO is cool too. But I don't think that the light is sufficient enough cos it only come with on strip of led.. additional strip will cost 65

Ok, thanks. Wonder what is the price comparison between Skimz vs Dymax IQ? is it fair to compare? Probably design and look similar , wonder if equipment wise behind the box is similar in terms of function. Which is better value for $. Saw the Skimz and Dymax IQ before but didn't bother to study. Always thought so cute, maybe good for study desk..in room..

Price wise skims will be about one red note more.. if you want Skimmer will be additional two red note. The only different is the return, skims is on the left while dymax is on the right side.. function is all the same.. even measurements
