prism wanted (Was skilter wanted)
 
I want to try a skilter as a 2nd skimmer so that I can skim and use chemipure at the same time. I can replace my Aquaclear then.

Anyone have 1 sitting around in good condition that they want to sell cheap?

Sam, not sure, but my LFS has one running and it is really annoying. Spitting and grinding and popping :razz:

OK then, how about a Prism? Anyone selling one (with the 18 blade injector)? I saw one going for $135 + shipping but J&L sells for $109.

Oh, will also trade for a 36" 96W Coralife Aqualight canopy or a brand new Magnum HOT cannister filter.

I don't think you could use Chemipure in a Prizm, there is no room for it, and the skimmer would probably not wok as a skimmer anymore. FYI, I use an AC 300 for my Chemipure, and am not unhappy with that idea. I think it would be better to use a small Fluval instead though.

An upgrade kit for the Prism is available for adding media. Cool.

I have never used the Pro Skimmer, however the forerunner Prizm went down as one of the biggest POS I have ever owned.

I wouldn't do it Sam. :eek: Put a CPR Bakpak on there if you want the second skimmer thing with room in a chamber.

Thanks for the warning Em. I sold my BakPak. Doh.

King Ed has the Prism Pro Deluxe for $280, J&L charges over $300 I believe. Or if Aquafanatics decides to open their doors, then you might find a better deal there cuz of their clearance sale.
