    The lighting systems can be had, Chillers go on sale in March. I'll check. Last year I was able to get Prime 1/3rd towers or cubes for $300 new. Pm me please so as not to take over this thread.

    Joseph - I use to use the Prizm pro deluxe skimmer and I also flooded my house several times with it. When it floods it does it all at once with no prior warning. Be very careful with that skimmer. I had it on my overstocked 75G and it just didnt do a very good job. If you want my opinion on a cheap skimmer that out performs most others even the euroreef for the money is the coralife 220 super skimmer. I purchased mine for $159 at marinedepot. It isnt made of the best quality material but it is far better than the Prizm Pro. But all-in-all the prizm should perform ok for you.

    I juat got my protein skimmer today and I must say !!! IT's awesome, I don't know why people don't like it , I surface skim my tank in 5 mins and the gunk after 6 hours is about 7 oz.... that is crazy!! It is reallllly dark greenish brown. I'm thinking that people that own it didn't know how to tune it, I messed with it for 15 mins after reading the directions. I must say the direction is stupid , I just pay close attention to everything and tuned it on my own. Now about the top over flowing, well if everything is correct then every three day I will have to clean it out rather than waiting to find a mess..lol . Bubbles were very fine without me moding anything , tomorrow I'm going to feed heavy on purpose and see this baby do it's magic... I'm a believer in the product rather than taking peoples "hear say". Thank you for the positive advices and warning, which I'm going to follow to prevent any problems... but I mess with my tank daily... and have time on my hands to make sure it works great!

    -Joseph
