Red Sea Prism (Prizm?) Skimmers

[SnowManSnow]

has anyone had any dealings with the prizm line of skimmers? Just currious. They seem to be a good deal if they work decently.

I used to use one on a 29 gal reef, upgraded to an AquaC Remora and my fish are much happier :wink: .

Did you use the origional Prizm.. or the Delux mod?

Just currious?

I smashed mine to little bitty pieces. It would need to be adjusted every day. It was noisy as well. Not allot of skimmate. I upgraded it to a CPR Bakpak which works 100 imes better IMHO.

I hated mine. Noisy as hell too.

I had the standard model. It worked ok with a minimal load (2 damsels, a clownfish and a couple shrimp) in a 29 gal FOWLR setup. My water parameters never really got out of hand but my nitrates were always on the high side. I did notice an increase in skimmate after upgrading. The other problem I had with it was that it was very noisy.

i have a regular and a pro... the regular does a fine job on my nano, but the pro is the biggest peice of garbage i have ever owned in my life.

ahh.. I think I'll look into the CPR Bak Paks

Were they all out of Seaclones? Just kidding. Go with a Bak Pak or even better a Remora pro.

Couldn't skim a shotglass like just about every other red sea product it's a total piece of crap.

I'll never forget the President of Red Sea telling me to my face that the original Prizm could handle a 125 gallon tank. :roll: We tried one on a 10 gallon and removed and replaced it with an AquaC Remora.
