hang-on skimmer

[veliferium]

is there any hang-on skimmer on the market suited for 2.5 feet tank.budget $50,but can go on 2 $100.currently using airstone powered small skimmer.

2 moderate skimmers does not equate to 1 good skimmer. for ur budget of $100, u can look for a 2nd hand red sea prizm hang on skimmer or a macro needlewheel in the pasar malam forum. they shld do reasonably well for ur 2.5 footer. but again, it depends on ur stocking levels, maintenace, etc.

yeah...agree with LS....get a single skimmer, it works better that way....but prizm for a 2.5 footer, i'm not really sure....from the reviews that i have read so far, they seems to have overstated their claims!!!!

Hi. What's the diff. between macro needlewheel skimmer and prizm skimmer? which one do you guys think is better?

any website where i can check out the macro needlewheel skimmer? (or any brands you can recommend)

tks.

IME, the prizm is not as bad as it sounds. will do alrite for a 2.5 footer.

The Prizm combines an efficient 18-blade TurboJet injector together with Red Sea`s Patented convergent-divergent flow technology Reaction Chamber.

as for the macro needlewheel, i hv no experience wif it. u can do a search on it.

Totally agree with lightningstrike....it is really not bad for use with 3ft + below tanks....i have both red sea prizm (opening for sales 4 mths old) + H&S so i can make a good comparison in terms of its performance (real experience and not based on "reviews")
