First Timer - 8 Gallon Nano

[HumanMachine]

Hey there folks. I've been lurking for a while, but never quite mentally prepared to post up my tank. It's not nearly as well stocked as I would like, but I feel like it's at such a place where I can be proud of how far it's gotten. The tank itself is about 3 months old at this point, but relatively stable. No fish but a few inverts and snails to keep things under control.

Tank: 8g rimless bowed front. I picked this up from a vendor here in San Diego (D&K) and it's been flawless.

Filtration: Live Rock, Sander: Piccolo protein Skimmer for Nano Tanks, Aquaclear 70 (Refugium Mod with Chaeto) with some Carbon and Chemipure.

Water Flow : Koralia 240gph Nano.

Lighting is a Finnex RAY 2 50/50 White/Actinic Blue

Nice setup! I was curious if you liked the skimmer? I am looking for a tiny hob for my 8 gal.. with no luck! Where did you find that one? I was looking for it online a while back and saw nothing :(. Do you know the dims on the unit? May have to DIY a micro skimmer..
