Recommendations for skimmer on 80gal
 

I have an 80gal im in the process of setting up. Doing it slowly..ish.

Its a none overflow setup. Using a canister filter, mp40es and koralias for water filtration and flow. I need a skimmer for it as I dont want to use my big bulky CSS.

Will a Prizm Deluxe do? They say "up to 100gals" but Im not sure if I believe that for the size of it...

What do you guys recommend? I am on a budget

Thanks :)

If you are going the HOB route, I'd recommend a Bubble Magus NAC5E skimmer

They are pretty much the closest thing to an in-sump style skimmer you can get but with the features that make them useable for display tanks without sumps. The skimmer boasts a 5" diamater body, needlewheel driven pump and will pull in 450L of air per hour. Not bad for a skimmer under the $200 mark

I have this setup temporary on my 90 gallon QT

Works great, you only have 2 pipes in the tank, vs having the pump in the tank
