Skimmers

[thewolfman777]

I have read a lot of people's opinions about protien skimmers. Most everyone likes the Prism. I am eventually going to get one but have had absolutely no luck in finding a prism anywhere, not even on line. Can anyone direct me toward a site or a chain fs that carries the prism???

This site sells them under the Dry Good section.

What size tank ya got ???

Yep, this site sells them, at a good price too. I would not put a prism on a tank any larger then a 30 gal maybe 55 tops even though they are rated for higher.

[jimi]

Yes, what are you intending to put in it?

i now have a FOWLR set up, maybe one day down the road i would like to add some corals, who knows. I havent done my homework yet on reef tanks but would like to learn. Do corals need to compete with the fish as part of a bioload??? Any good books for beginners out there that anyone recommends???
