Does any one have any experience with a Fission Nano Skimmer made by Current? I was looking at possibly buying this but was wanting to see what people had to say about it. It will go in my 10g tank that has 8lbs of live rock, 1 clown fish and 6-10 hermit crabs.

On a 10 gallon tank with your livestock, you may be better off to use activated carbon aggressively, rather than a skimmer. Most internal skimmers take up more space than you can spare in a 10 gallon, and most hang on models would be overpriced for your size tank.

I would personally buy a small hang on Whisper filter and stuff the bag full with carbon, replacing monthly and cleaning daily.
