Guess what, I was digging around in my aquarium stuff today and found a protein skimmer I had originally got for my 10g nano. Never used it as it was too big and wouldn't fit in the tank. Now, it is a very cheap one but the reviews on it are really good and a lot of people recommend it. Has anyone used this type before and if so how did it work?

Never used one as such. I'd doubt it would hurt though..!

It's pulling better then my Reef Octopus too.. Haha...gonna take another pic when I get home before I empty it. I still can't believe it is working this good. Am I correct in saying this will also help with algae growth? Since it is pulling the excess gunk from the water.

Yep skimmers basically pull crap before it turns into nitrates.
