Nobody has a used Prizm skimmer for sale????? Maybe a hob remora or Tunze Nano?

I'm sorry but the Pro is too wide for the space i have on the back of my tank.

I sooo totally agree with Justin but wasn't going to say anything unless you asked for an opinion on the skimmer...they're really not very good...they work "alright" on my 10g nano...but "alright" is with not much bioload and being prepared for them to overflow when they feel like it or lose their suction or .... the list goes on...in my opinion you should go with your other choices like the Remora or so...bit noisy but a better skimmer!

I have had great success with this skimmer.
Both in a 36 gallon and in a 20 gallon.
Once you have them adjusted, they work very well FOR THE PRICE.
I would happily use one of these on anything under 35 gallons and have used them for years.
not a Euroreef by any means, but it's not meant to be.

My 2 cents.
Cheers.

I tend to agree with Whatigot that these skimmers are alright. We had one on our 28 gallon aquarium for over a year, and though it tended to be a bit finicky sometimes it worked excellent and did not leak or anything.

I actually still have this skimmer as I upgraded to a Remora. I am in Alberta, though, and I imagine that with shipping costs it would not be worth it.
