who has a red sea prizm protein skimmer??

are they good?

do they produce and micro bubbles?

are they noisey?

do they require any filter sponge etc or does it not need anything else just the unit.

 

i have one. i need to empty it every week. it doesnt produce micro bubbles for very long. and yes it is a bit noisy but i can sleep with it on in my room.

 

do you have to keep adjusting it?
where is the best place to have the water line in the skimmer?

 

i dont have to adjust it, dont get the top water skimmer part to it. mine is just about mid ways open, i get some good skimmate from this too.

 

had one too much tinkering, little noisy for me

 

why not get the upgrade then?

 

I have one of these skimmers on my nano tank. It can be loud I don't like it. That because it is very fussy. One day it will skim great then breaks sypon and unless I pull the cups and tinker with it, it won't pull. So for me in a pinch with my nano it works ok. But would do anything more with it
