Description

Bubble Magus MiniQ Nano Internal Protein Skimmer — Powerful Drop-In Skimming for Tanks Up to 20 Gallons

The MiniQ solves the problem every nano and AIO reefer runs into: no room for a traditional skimmer. This ultra-compact internal skimmer drops straight into the back filter chamber of your AIO tank and pulls skimmate from day one — no plumbing, no bulky pump, no wasted sump space. It's become our go-to recommendation for customers setting up their first nano reef.

Why Reefers Choose the MiniQ

  • Purpose-built for AIO and nano tanks up to 20 gallons (75L)

  • Reliable needle-wheel pump generates fine, efficient micro-bubbles despite the small footprint

  • Built-in air silencer and bubble diffuser for quiet operation next to your desk or living room

  • USB-powered (5V DC) — runs off the included universal adapter or any standard USB port

  • Power-outage backup: plug into a phone power bank to keep skimming during an outage

  • Collection cup and body fully disassemble for fast, easy cleaning

  • Included mounting bracket fits glass up to 0.47" (12mm) thick for simple, secure installation

  • Knob-style water level adjustment valve for quick, accurate tuning

We recommend the MiniQ to customers setting up their first AIO or nano system — it's proof that a small footprint doesn't mean giving up real protein export.
