    Hey there, I have a 28g with 28 scan lord frags that I feed 2-4 times a week. I bought prizm 8 month ago for $100 when I switched from FW to FOWLR, now I'm sick and tired of that crazy noise and that I have to adjust valve 2 times a day. Sometimes cup getting filled within 2-3 hrs, sometimes it don't push foam at all.
    Any one have any suggestions about what kind of hang on skimmer to get for <$200?

    Aqua C Remora. Set it and forget it. I haven't adjusted mine in over 2 years, just dump and clean the collection cup an average of once a week.

    How big is a problem to clean injector? I like the way it look and I think it will be quite, so I can run it 24/7 (tank 10 feet away from my bed). Thanx again for a heads up folks.

    I've never cleaned the injector in the 27 months that I've owned it.
