It works OK kind of a pain to adjust.
| Installation and Operation |
Installation is easy. Hard to break back down though.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
When its working it is OK, but is hard to adjust. When you feed the tank it overflows even if you have it shutoff for two hours after feeding.
|
| Value for money |
Kind of expensive.
|
| Customer Support |
Rude! I won't buy just because of the customer support.
|
| Liked about it |
Hang on the back or in sump option is nice.
|
| Didn't like |
A lot more things than what I liked. If I where you I would pass on this skimmer.

Good value for the money
| Installation and Operation |
Installation was really easy as it is either a HOB or and In sump model, I have mine hanging on the wall of my sump.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
Does an excellent job on my 125 (200+ gallons of water), biggest thing is keeping it cleaned...h

| Value for money |

if it hasn't been cleaned for a week it isn't performing it's best
more flow would be better but for what it is it is good

Not bad
| General |
I would not put this on a three hundred gallon tank. Perhap 200 gallon total water volume. As said in other reviews It can be hard to adjust. Once it is dialed in though it does a fine job. You can get a much better skimmer for just a little more money though. |

Came with HOB or in sump. Has a surface skimmer and a media basket.

Red Sea Prizm Skimmer review
| General |
This was my introduction in the world of Protein Skimmers. I used this unit because I did not have a sump (used a canister) and it had a very slim profile. I found myself always adjusting the unit and it took sometime to break-in (at least a couple of weeks). Once the unit broke in it seemed to work nicely but it would overflow without warning and it reacted very poorly to minimal water level changes. I found myself turning the flow rate down when I was not home to avoid a puddle of gunk on my floor. I finally had to get a sump and sell this unit for an in-sump model because I was too worried about the skimmer resevoir over-filling. Over-all I would only recommend this unit as a last resort item do to space. It works but it requires a lot of adjustments and visual monitoring. |

A pain in the rear
| General |
These skimmers are not easy to set up at all. Luckily mine was used in sump first or I would have flooded the floor a couple of times. Once you do get them set they are ok, but I believe they are overrated. Do not waste your money or time trying to set one up, just spend a few more bucks and go with the C-Skim 1200...the Cadillac of skimmers. |

It is capable to be a Hang on back skimmer
