skimmer advice

pressthebutton · 03/29/2007, 08:08 PM

i have a 55 reef and it is in need of a better skimmer. now i have a prizm which works fine, but is more appropriate for about a 20 or 30 gal. so, what are some good, reliable, easily adjustable, powerful, and most importanly inexspensive skimmers? under $100 please, im on a budget. please help.

Does it have to be a hot or do you have a sump?

if you have a sump, look for a used turbofloater. that would probably be the best bang for your buck ~$100

people have been saying good things about the odyssea skimmers available at aquatraders. There's a big thread about them here somewhere. They are $30 and $60 if I'm not mistaken.
