Default how do you do this?

I found an eclipse 6 gallon tank but I don't see how you can put a skimmer and all the other stuff on it with the lid on there too. How do you manage a nano tank without all the stuff that goes on a big tank? Are there any other tanks that small that are good to use that have the room for all the accesories?

they have a Nano Fission Skimmer made by current. It is really for Nano tanks but it says it is good for tanks up to 30 gallons. maybe a combo filter? I'm sorta new to this also.

yeah i saw that on a website that sold a different nano tank and it looks like it just suction cups to the inside wall. It said it was powered by current, but I don't know what exactly that means. Do skimmers require electricity? If so how is this going to work if I have to run a cord to it? Isn't being new fun?

The Fission uses a powerhead to drive the water & air into it. You'll have to make a cut in the hood to get the power cord through.
