Also you could use a ASM euro reef style skimmer they sell them at champion and they work great they are a little cheaper too.

I had a berlin classic which did very little.
I just recieved my euro-reef CS6-3 it kicks some ass.
My tank is a 180 shark tank. And it is pulling out some
nasty stuff out of the water that my berlin would never get out.

I Am using ETSS Evolution 500 for right now it is doing ok
but I think Aeroformer is good skimmer like Aeroformer624
my friend has one for his 150 gallon reef tank works great
with Gen-X pump

I HEARD NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS ABOUT PRECISON
MARINE THEY HAVE IN SUMP UNITS (BULLET 1 & 2 &3)
THE 1 IS GOOD UP TO 180 BUT YOU COULD NEVER HAVE
TOO BIG OF A SKIMMER.

IMO a prizm pro wouldn't do the job, maybe on a tank half that size. Triggers and eels arent like lions and groupers the pick at their food often leaving pieces around I would use a Euro reef or an ASM they are made almost identical and I have experience with both, Easy to clean and not alot of adjusting.
