What do you think about this skimmer on a 30?

salty3 · 01/10/2007, 06:17 PM

What dose everybody think about the prizim delux skimmer for my 30 gal tank? I know its not the best but untill the credit card company replaces my stolen cards I cant order anything. Will this do good for my 30 gal with 2 clowns and 1 damsel, or should I take it back and use the seaclone untill I get cards and order a super skimmer or remora pro? Need some help deciding I got it for 75. so not too much and havnt used it yet untill chemiclean is done.

I know people will say get the other but will this be good in the mean time, or forget about it?

Anybody? Also if it will work are there any good mods for it?

I use one on my 15G nano and its marginal. Its better than nothing at all though until you can replace it

OK thanks. But should I use my seaclone untill I can get a new one instead of wasting the money on this one? Also is your a regular or a deluxe?

If you don't already own the Prizm don't waste the money. Keep saving for a better skimmer and use the Seaclone in the meantime.

I already bought it but havnt used it yet so can return it if needed.
Which model do you have?

i would return it.i had the deluxe model and it was not a great performer.i used it on a 10 gallon QT tank.

The skimming ability of the regular or the deluxe is the same, I have had both. The deluxe just gives you a few features like and adjustable intake and a media basket other than that they are identical.

Ok I'll take it back tomarrow, and wait for new cards thanks for your help.

get a D&D marine typhoon for $68 at drfosters, it is a great skimmer for the price, at least as good as a remora pro!
