hi, i am buying a trigon 190 tank. and i am wondering what filter i should use in it. i am goin to look on ebay for a used filter so i am just wondering whck model to look for. also i have been offered a used prizm skimmer for £40 is this a good deal?
 
Don't get a Prizm (or Seaclone or Visijet) they are the worst skimmers out there. I'd look at a Coralife Super Skimmer.

For filtration: Live rock/skimmer/possibly live sand/refugium.

The cycle of saltwater is different than fresh. You don't need a filter to maintain biological filtration.

I have to agree that Prizm skimmers are horrible. I was tortured with one and finally gave up on it in frustration.

We recently got a Remora, based on the comments here. It's an incredible skimmer.
