sgw Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 How effective is the Prizm Skimmer in a 20 gallon aquarium? If it isn't, what HOT skimmer would you recommend? Thanks for the replies! Link to comment
TinyGiant Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The prism isnt too bad of a skimmer. just make sure you keep the air intake clean. they can get clogged with dust from time to time. i think there is a mod for those too to create a finer bubble to make it more efficient. link to some mod info http://www.reefland.com/forum/diy/16105-to...immer-mods.html Link to comment
sgw Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Is there another skimmer anyone would recommend? Thanks in advance! Link to comment
Seiryoku Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 It is crap, don't waste your money on it!!! Use a Tunze 9002 or AquaC... Link to comment

chucktdbm321 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 i have a prizm and i have been using it for over 2 years now. Its not bad at all for the price but if you have the money to drop on a 300 dollar skimmer go for it lol. They really are alot better. I have the prizm because i was good friend of one the employees of an lfs and they sold it to me for 40 bucks. Link to comment
Seiryoku Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 You can get a tunze for ~150 if you watch the classifieds... Link to comment
HiepNotik Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I got a new one from a lfs, it went on eBay a week later, it just doesn't do what its suppose too, go with Tunze, AquaC, or the cheaper but just as good Aquatic Life. Link to comment
mxpro32 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 prism sucks. never could get mine to pull any gunk Link to comment
sgw Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Is Aquatic Life good then? I heard it produces a lot of microbubbles. Link to comment
hooligan_78 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I use an Aquatic Life in my sump for my 20. Produces some bubbles when breaking in, but once it does, pulls some good gunk and not too many bubbles. Link to comment
