    Looks to be a little needlewheel skimmer. Anyone seen one or know how much they are?

    It doesn't look like a very good design. Basically a skilter with a NW.

    this skimmer is the best nano skimmer that most people can afford Its 40 dollars and performs like a beast.The skilter tried to put two very different filters in one unit and each filter caused probems for the others.

    Totally different animal I am a life long fan of Red Sea but the Prizm was a huge piece of nothing. That skimmer was not one of their better idea's they ever came up with.
