I started a 3 gallon reef tank about 3 months ago. The biggest apprehension I had was how to skim it. There is really nothing out there for my setup. I basically modified a 3 gallon glass aquarium (as JBJ Picotope to be exact) to include a small sump along the back. Similar in design to all the Nanos out there (I have a Aquapod 24 myself).
Since nothing was out there I build my own. It works great, actually I think is skims better that the Saphirre skimmer I have on my Aquapod 24. People have approached me to build and sell them, but this is way too much of a hassle. The next best thing, post the instructions on the web for free!
So that is what I did, see DIY Pico Skimmer
