Hi, I would appreciate some help choosing a skimmer for a 66 US gal tank.

I'm interested in the Coralife Super Skimmer-Needle Wheel-125 Gallon and in the Red Sea Prizm Deluxe Hang-On Skimmer. I'm happy over-skimming

Can anyone share some info about how well they work, which one is better, or if there's another similarly priced skimmer that performs better than the ones I mentioned?

Thanks!

I dont like Prizms.

Only on like...nano tanks.

That's based on my experience with them.

I dont have personal experience with the other one you listed, but I usually recommend AquaC EV skimmers, and AquaMedic skimmers, like the Turboflotor.

The coralife super skimmers are a good deal for their lower cost. Needle wheel fitted pumps do a very good job at creating tiny bubbles..the skimmer is a good buy depending on what size tank its going on.
