i used one on my 20 gal for 6 years. i thought it was ok for small tanks

I had the Prizm Deluxe a couple of years ago. It's not that great of a skimmer. Constant adjustment to keep it in the sweetspot.

had a prizm deluxe on my 55 and worked pretty good compared to the cost. now my brother uses it on the same tank.. i bought mine on ebay for cheap then upgraded it

I used one on my 55 and it worked fine. I just skimmed more on the wet side and be sure to keep it clean.

hit or miss. hard to tune at times. a bit noisy. but you already have it so you might as well give it a shot. I've run them on smaller tanks in the basement where noise isn't a big factor. water evaporation makes a big difference on how it opperates.

Had one years ago it was a bit noisy for such a small skimmer. Hit or miss
