Skimmer...which one?

[y2says]

I'm looking at getting a skimmer for my 54g corner reef tank and I was wondering on which one to get. I was thinking about a CPR bakpak or a prizm skimmer. What do you guys think?

If yo uare set on those two get the CPR.

The CPR is far superior in my opinion.....prizm are cheap noisy junk from the feedback I have heard. I actually have a LFS that uses CPRs even though they don't sell them....that tells me something......they won't even use the skimmers they sell, but they use CPRs instead.

CPR bakpak or a prizm skimmer
Between those two I'd go with the CPR...I've hard lots of negative comments about the Prism...and I've run a CPR on my fish only for close to three years now. Does a decent job for its size.
I'd suggest a search here and on-line for additional info on hang-on skimmers and carefully consider all the available options. I'd also suggest looking at some type of sump where you could maybe use a much larger and more effecient skimmer.

Here's another vote for cpr, I have 2 on my 75g and have been very happy with them.

CPR all the way. I have 2 of them and never had a problem. Even with the rio pumps.

CPR all the way!

i agree go with either the cpr or remora, but if you can, look at possibly getting one in a sump if you have a sump!
good luck
