Red Sea Prizm Hang-on Protein Skimmer Information




The development of the Prizm line of protein skimmers represents one of the most significant technological breakthroughs in protein extraction in decades. Utilizing an advanced new method of mixing the water and air and the development of an integrated 2-stage reaction chamber has reset the standard by which all skimmers will be judged.

The Prizm Skimmers consist of 4 basic components: Main Body, Collection Cup, Inlet Pipe and Pump. It is designed to either hang-on the aquarium or to be installed next to or inside a sump as the motor is fully submersible. The Prizm Pro combines an efficient 18-blade TurboJet injector together with Red Sea`s Patented convergent-divergent flow technology Reaction Chamber. Water and air are drawn into the skimmer through the Inlet Pipe by the 18 blade TurboJet impellor, which has been designed to generate the optimum ratio between the water/air flow rates, producing a constant stream of superfine air bubbles in a homogenous air/water mixture.

The unique reaction chamber is divided into 2 compartments consisting of a convergent upward flow first stage, followed by a divergent downward flow second stage. The decreasing cross-sectional area of the convergent first stage, causes great turbulence and extended contact time between the air bubbles and water. The increasing cross-sectional area of the divergent second stage causes the air bubbles to flow both co and counter current before arriving to the water surface. The combined action of the 2 compartments creates a protein loaded, stable foam at the throat of the skimmer, positively pushing dry foam up into the collection cup.

The bubble-trap under the reaction chamber redirects any escaping air bubbles ensuring that bubble free water is returned to the aquarium via the cascade. In addition, the bubble-trap acts as a Mechanical filter by trapping small particulate matter not removed by the foam, thus keeping it out of the aquarium.

Comments: For everybody out there who says this is garbage are all wrong the only downfall is that it is a little noisey but this little skimmer skims like a champ.just remember that when you buy a new skimmer it takes anywhere form a couple of days up to about two weeks to break them in and as for adjustments i set mine once and dont have to worry about it.

Comments: at first it does put micro bubbles in the water, but it quit once it broke in. it also does best with a steady water level like in a sump. the ad says up to 90, but the box only says 40. it is easy to adjust and skims well, once broke in. it just isnt very big.

Comments: I have used the Prizm Deluxe on a 40gal reef for 2 years now. Here are a few things I found helpful, adjust the water flow so the bubbles are around the same height as the O-ring( let it run for a hour or two then check/adjust to this height again and it will stay there). Also add a new longer air intake tube with a air flow control valve ( this reduces allot of noise and gives you more control over the kind of foam you want ). This skimmer works great as long as you set it up properly and clean the collection cup every few days. If you use the Media basket like I do make sure water flows through it easily and check it often.

Comments: i had one of these on my last tank. it requires constant adjustment to maintain proper skimming. more often than not it just over flows with water unless perfectly adjusted and if your water level drops then you're screwed and have to readjust again. i also had some very close calls with this thing because if it it fills up the water begins leaking down the back of your tank causing a major mess and in my case ruined the dry wall behind my tank and could have easily started an electrical fire had i not caught it in time. don't buy this thing. that's my best recommendation.
