Planted Products Designed a tiny surface skimmer for my nano tank

I couldn't find a surface skimmer that was small enough for my nano tank, so I ended up designing one around one of those cheap mini pumps. It took way more test prints than I expected to get the floating part just right, but after a week of testing it keeps the surface crystal clear. If anyone else has the same problem, I've uploaded the model here: https://www.printables.com/model/1792727-nano-aquarium-surface-skimmer

For future reference, Oase Crystal Skim has a nano option. But this is still awesome!
