I've never read a bad review of a Aqua C Remora Pro. Aqua C makes awesome skimmers. I've got the older EV 200 and i love it. The remoras are at the very top of hang on skimming.

About twice as expensive as the prism deluxe but you won't care after you get it.

I heard Tunze makes a very nice hang-on.

No experience with them but I have used a Remora C and was not that impressed.

D&D marine typhoon, for $68 it is an awesome skimmer. It will do a much better job on your 100 then your prism, and as good or better a job than the remora for about 1/3 the price! drfosters has them for $68

Aqua Medic Turbofloater multi 1000 would be an excellent skimmer.
