An AquaClear is nice on a sumpless system because you can use it to run carbon or GFO. Carbon and GFO don't mix well though because carbon likes high flow and GFO likes slow flow. It's also good for having a sponge in there just to catch particles. BUT, you don't it. I don't have one on my sumpless 33g. Just an AquaC Remora. Don't waste $40 on a Prism skimmer...they suck. If you really want to spend that $40 get an AquaClear and save up your money for an AquaC Remora.

skilters are like miracle mud. Good theory but they just don't work in practice. I had one and it was real noisy. I did most of the mods on it and it was still noisy and didn't work. I swear I would have had more skimmate with just an airstone in a piece of PVC or something.
