I think he ment not good as in how it was going to be use as aposed to quality. it is a insump aplication from what he said.. so a prisim isn't a good skimmer for that.

FYI, the prizm pro is designed for either in sump or hob functionality.
It's actually easier to dial in when used in sump.

It also has a very short height compared to a lot of other in sump skimmers...

It's still no Deltec though...

that deltec is a HOD and I think it may be spoken for. I am not knoking your Red Sea rizm just not what he is looking for. THis guy will pay up to 250 shipped for a used skimmer in good condition I had one for him but the guy that built his cabinet made it a bit on the short side so that also plays into the situation I could have had 20 skimmers all way better than the one above but they are all to tall. even my Aqau Medic with the optional riser tub that is abot 2.5 unches taller than the short one kames the T1000 to tall. I am going to try and find the short neck and see if he wants the T1000 as I can find them on the net for a decent price and they work very good.

No problem here I just don't take offense to much these days I'd just as well be hitting my Head on a brick wall some times when it comes to finding things for newbies in this hobby. They always start out wanting to spend next to nothing and then gradely they will end up spending quite a bit more as they find out that they have to. So I am going to lend him my skimmer for the time being and this will give me more time to search the other forums and find him a good skimmer that he can use and be happy with. I am limited to what he wants also. This will be newbie #3 that I have helped in to the hobby since I was layed off, goto have some thing to do in between job hunting.
