Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / April 2007protein skimmers....advice??
What protein skimmers have you used or do you use and what do you think of them? Which skimmer have you ever used that just did the best job in your opinion. I am needing a hang on skimmer for a 55 gallon...so I am looknig for one that can handle up to over 100 gallon tanks. > What protein skimmers have you used or do you use and what do you think of > them? > > Which skimmer have you ever used that just did the best job in your opinion. > I am needing a hang on skimmer for a 55 gallon...so I am looknig for one > that can handle up to over 100 gallon tanks. I'm using an ASM-3 and a AquaC Remora. Jury is still out on the romora, but I like the ASM-3 a lot. I had a Red Sea Prizm and now I have a Coral Life. The red Sea was noisy and not very good. The coral Life I really like. > What protein skimmers have you used or do you use and what do you think of > them?

The one on my main tank is "AMiracle", as in "if it does a good job, it's a miracle." I doubt that they thought of it that way when they named the product line that. It does an adequate job for me, and it's quiet, but it's air driven, which is not highly regarded these days. It hangs on the back of the tank. I bought a Prizm skimmer for my hospital tank. It's a piece of junk. George Patterson If you torture the data long enough, eventually it will confess to anything. I used a RED PRIZM (46G), and at the beggining it wasn't very good, but over time start removing a lot. The problem is the excessive bubles created, causing some stress on the fish. Technically, they are all desing to do the same, so why waste $500. I got a cheap JEBO in sump skimmer(125G), and it's not the greatest but it does the job properly. As with all skimmers, proper adjustment is crucial.
