prism wanted (Was skilter wanted)

Samw · #1 08-27-2003, 07:06 PM

I want to try a skilter as a 2nd skimmer so that I can skim and use chemipure at the same time. I can replace my Aquaclear then.

Anyone have 1 sitting around in good condition that they want to sell cheap?

Sam, not sure, but my LFS has one running and it is really annoying. Spitting and grinding and popping

OK then, how about a Prism? Anyone selling one (with the 18 blade injector)? I saw one going for $135 + shipping but J&L sells for $109.

Oh, will also trade for a 36" 96W Coralife Aqualight canopy or a brand new Magnum HOT cannister filter.

I don't think you could use Chemipure in a Prizm, there is no room for it, and the skimmer would probably not wok as a skimmer anymore. FYI, I use an AC 300 for my Chemipure, and am not unhappy with that idea. I think it would be better to use a small Fluval instead though.

An upgrade kit for the Prism is available for adding media. Cool.

I have never used the Pro Skimmer, however the forerunner Prizm went down as one of the biggest POS I have ever owned.

I wouldn't do it Sam.

Put a CPR Bakpak on there if you want the second skimmer thing with room in a chamber.

Thanks for the warning Em. I sold my BakPak. Doh.

King Ed has the Prism Pro Deluxe for $280, J&L charges over $300 I believe. Or if Aquafanatics decides to open their doors, then you might find a better deal there cuz of their clearance sale.
