Chaos's First Salt 20g

chaosfinity · #41 November 8th, 2007, 07:51 PM

Alright can you suggest any others? Im most likely going up to a 29 gal tank so for around that size what are some good skimmers? What i liked about the prizm is that it was sort of a filter too and a surface skimmer is there any others that do this?

The Prizm isn't a filter or a surface skimmer. It draws water from a few inches below the water column. For a tank that size, a Coralife Super Skimmer would probably be a good choice. I also like the Octopus brand. Are you looking for a hang on skimmer or in sump? The best hang on skimmer is the Aqua C Remora Pro. They are pricey, and probably more than you need for a 29 gallon tank.

No offense to Biffmaster but there is really no need to spend big money for a skimmer on a 20g. or 29g.I actually think a Prizm will work well on a 29g.Its still compact enough to actually fit.

After the cycle is complete,I like to start with mushrooms and zoos then work up to other softies about a month later.After about 2 months then I move to LPS corals.I put plenty of periods in this time.(pat self on back)

That's why I said that if he goes with the Prizm, he should at least modify it so that it works a little better!

Lol thanks biff, it does make me look around and water quality is most important. On the prizm deluxe it says its a surface skimmer hmm lemme grab a link.

"Includes adjustable height surface skimmer, filtration media basket, and carbon."
here

I donno i have no experience so it helps to talk to people that have used it.

Ohhh that's the Prizm Pro Deluxe. I used to have just the regular old Prizm Deluxe, without the Pro. Dunno, maybe these ones are better than they used to be?

I think im gonna give that skimmer a try on my tank. Seems like it may be good. DANG! My fiddler crab hopped halfway up the glass and got my snail then took off runnin with it hope he doesnt kill him. Lol

Yeah the Prizm Pro deluxe comes with a surface skimmer.All it does is draw water from the surface where nutrients collect.Much better than pulling water deeper in the aquarium.
