When I was in the market for skimmers I noticed prizm had the worst reviews. I wanted one because I was limited by space. I did not by a prizm skimmer I bought a coralife super skimmer 65. It works..ok

bad things with the 65: The collection cup does not have a way to hook up an extra bucket from it. So if it overflows.. it spills over. This sucks for me because it leaks all over my carpet floor. I adjust the flow and height of the skimmer and it works fine... a day later...overflow(perhaps) I do not trust it.

1st thing you should do it remove the tray at the end. Where the bubbles come out. Just extend the pipe into the water. It is doing better now. If you change the filter pad in it you must change the levels of you skimmer or an overflow will happen.

I just purchased an extra collection cup. I am going to drill/tap it so I can have an extra spillage bucket else ware.
