Red Sea Prism protein skimmer

[Reefer769]

hey!

sorry but this thread is once again about a protein skimmer.

i just need to know if this Red Sea Prizm Protein Skimmer will be good for my current 10 gallon? and could this same skimmer be used for a new 30 or 40 gal tank i will buy in the future? thanks

Never had one, but my LFS has one on his coral display tank... He likes it, it does pull out alot of gunk, but for heavily that tank is populated I would think there would be EVEN MORE to pull out. I guess the Prizm PRO is a little better and has a surface skimmer attatchment.

I have 2 prisms (on 2 seperate tanks) and I really like it. It seems to pull out a lot of gunk (much more then my old excalibur).
They are on a 75 and a 55.
My parameters are almost perfect on the 75 - Nitrate is reading at 5 according to salifert.
The parameters are perfect on the 55

I use the nitrate level as basic guide to how the skimmer is doing. I know that a skimmer doesn't remove nitrate itself, but it does remove the organics that break down into nitrate.

I have a 10 gallon that I don't run a skimmer on. Instead, I use polymarinebio's polyfilter. It seems to work very well and again the water parameters are perfect.

I run a Prism on my 20. It does a decent job. The downsides of the Prism are that it's fairly noisy, and it tends to skim wet. I think it's a decent choice for smaller tanks.
