I think that the new surface skimmers Hagen has out for the Aquaclear hang on back powerfilters would work with a Red Sea Prism.

The Prism works like a HOB filter by pulling water into it throught an uplift tube the way an Aquaclear does, so it should be fairly easy to adapt the surface skimmer to it.

The hagen surface skimmers take in water from the surface and from below so you would not have to worry about the flow of water into the surface skimmer being too slow or too fast.

I use one on an Eheim canister I have on my Discus tank and it works great. They only cost about $17. I used to use the Eheim designed surface skimmer years ago and it didn't work nearly as good and also cost $50-$60.
