A prizm skimmer is not good enough for 150g of water.

A prism backpack skimmer and the seaclone? Shouldn't that be enough? I've also got an aquaclear 500 filter running on it. This is the first time I've had levels above 0 since my tank cycled...
My toad seems to have perked up a tiny bit today. He's not completely rolled into a ball now. Funny thing-my Royal Gramma started hosting it tonight, as soon as it started to open up a bit. Do they usually do that? It's pretty cute.

IMO, no those two skimmers are too weak, even combined, for 150g of water. But I am a fan of high skimming, so take that into consideration. I am also not a fan of those two particular skimmers, some of the worst on the market IMO.
It is possible to maintain a tank that size with those skimmers though, just not that easy. It depends on your bioload, frequency of water changes, and whether you run a macro algae fuge or not as well. Adding 5 fish into 150g of water should not spike your ammonia and nitrite levels if your have a cycled tank with sufficient filtration. (rock, sand, skimmer) I just added 9 fish to my 180 at once with no spike.
