lots of questions by KENNY PAROLINI

Comments: I installed my Prizm pro about a month ago on my 180 reef tank with about 3-400 pounds of live rock. Previously I was using a Turbo-Flotor which seemed Ok but not great. Since adding the Prizm it has pulled out about two teaspoons of gunk in the whole month. I am also running a Turbelle wave box that keeps thing stirred up. I have read and reread the skimpy directions and just can't get any more out of it no matter how I adjust it. Admittedly the Turbo Flotor hasn't done much either. Possibly it is due to the PURA Phos-Lock phosphate remover that I just started using at the same time. Today when checking it over I noticed that the throat that the skimmer cup fits into had cracked but that would not affect anything. I do have to say that the container for additives is a very handy feature and certainly the water flow is excellent. If I could find a contact at PRIZM maybe I could clear things up- maybe not. I have to reserve judgment until I get more evidence. I am not pretending that this is a fair evaluation- I just can't get the results others have gotten. It does seem that most buyers are in the same boat as I am. Kenny I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Almost an electrical fire. by MICHAEL

Comments: This skimmer has performed inconsistently for me for the past year and a half on my 36 gallon tank. It seems that if it is tuned just right it seems to make some skimmate. Tuning is a gamble and I am lucky if I can get it tuned. I have had this skimmer flood on me and almost start an electrical fire. If I would have known before I purchased this skimmer, I would have chosen a different one. I am now looking at purchasing a totally different skimmer. I will not be going with any Red Sea Skimmers again. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
