[oneradtek]

So heres another review thread but this time for a prizm skimmer, i know remoras are better but i need something that fits i beleive the space it needs is only 3 inches from tank to wall or something?? but i have heard good and bad remarks on this but i just need a simple, decent skimmer for the back of my tank what you all think?

See my post on your other thread; what I said about SeaClone also applies to prizm. BTW,I believethe Remora needs less space than either of the other two.

I have one on my 50 (I know it's too small, but it works, Kinda!) The key to success on these is to remove the air line which leads from the pickup tube to the cup. Just let the air free flow from the top of the pick up tube. My skimmate went from a light brown to an extremely dark brown when I did this. Without removing the tube, it has to work harder to intake air. Also, set the water flow at about the ten o'clock position.

I got one and hated it as I could never get it to work properly and it has the ability to overflow on to the floor as the lid is not that secure. Lesley
