hey ive got a jebo 180 HOB skimmer. I purchased it off ebay for $40. It seems i have to top my water off and play with the airline almost everyday to get it to work and still no skinmate after about 2 weeks. I would like to purchase a new one im thinking. Any suggestions please..... i was thinking of getting a prizm one. I have a 36 gal bowfront btw. Is HOB just not the way or is my pos skimmer just a pos?????

you stated it yourself, its basically a pos. you get what you pay for in this hobby. i dont recommend the prizm also. go for a cpr bak pak at least

really......hmmm im intrested is it venturi or wat cuz that wat mine does. How much should one be willing to pay for a decent skimmer. I mean i would like it if it didnt spit micro bubbles into my tank.

Do i need my cartirdge filter if i have a decent skimmer???

after doing some research (internet searching) these suckers arent cheap. I would be willing to pay for one of these models if it works better then my piece. Meowzer u should hit ur buddy up for his. I dont mind buying used equipment i guess if itll save me $. Ur right nike i believe these models would blow the prizm idea out of the water....
hehe bananna man
