red sea prizm or similar skimmer saves space inside the tank. power heads, if you really want good water quality you can buy hang on the back refugiums on ebay

Will you try keeping corals now or at a later date??

why do you guys say dont get a prizm.. i have a prizm and it works great.. its always pulling out crap and i previously had the aqua medic mini floater and would highly rate the prizm over that any day...

 

[TigerIssey]

Sorry superman, the Prizm are so notoriously bad skimmers I would and do have the Aquamedic any day of the week.

Nope, not worth the plastic they are made from.

+2. I had a prism which came with a tank setup that I bought. It was a PITA to be honest. Sometimes I had a nightmare priming it.

I found corals like pulsing xenia, green star polyps, leather toadstools/fingers and Kenya tree were all very easy to care for.
