DON'T get a prizm.

a CPR BakPakII or a AquaC Remora would work perfectly for that size tank.

I would agree with the Aqua C Remora. it's quiet and skims a ton. comes with pump, but I'm not selling mine

I could part with my CPR BakPakII, I used it for 1 year on a 55gallon, it is in perfect shape.

They are $180 + GST = 192 at www.jlaquatics.com plus shipping.

I would sell for $125, any lower and I will just keep it for when I decide to start another tank. (cause you just know it happens!)

What's wrong with prizm skimmers? I've read good things about them.

Read where, I would like to see this. Do some searches on reef central, or the reef lounge.

They are difficult to tune, the pumps crap out, and they just plain dont skim well. I threw mine out, I wasn't going to sell it use to someone else, I would feel bad.

Really? Where have you heard good things about Prisms? I have never had one myself, but all I have ever heard (after the initial buzz when they came out that they were better than Seaclone's) is that they are pieces of junk that are impossible to adjust and even once adjusted, fall far from preforming very efficiently.
