PicO Skim makes the glass nano skimmer in acrylic

PicO Skim by PicO Aquariums is a new air driven nano protein skimmer that seems to be catching the wave of the small and effective filtration devices. Borrowing some design cues from Gnome Glass nano skimmer, the PicO skimmer is made of acrylic and equipped with a wooden airstone, black feed line and black drain line for the bracketed skimmer without adjustable height adjustment.

Since the heigh of the PicO Skim is not adjustable relative to the mounting bracket, users will have to rely solely on the air adjustment valve for fine adjustments of the protein skimming. Nevertheless, the PicO Skim is ten inches tall, with a footprint of 2.75 inches square and can operate in water level as low as 6 inches deep. PicO Aquariums is pre-selling the PicO Skim for $80 as pictured above and $92 with an appropriately sized MillionAir air pump.

    Kind of pricy, but would look nice in a nano tank.

    It’s a Biocube skimmer.  Only it costs twice as much.

    Making it out of glass gives a coolness factor, even if it doesn’t perform any better than a Biocube skimmer.  Making it out of acrylic and then charging an arm and leg for it…. Well there’s a sucker born every minute.

    At least the Biocube skimmer is a counter current skimmer. Both these and the Gnome are concurrent skimmers and not nearly as efficient a design.

    it looks like some things are taking a step back in time with this sort of skimmer, many yrs ago all you could get was the sander air driven skimmer.
