Protein Skimmer Suggestions

[boulderman1]

i just bought and returned a Finnex PS-60 because it overflowed, leaked, spewed bubbles no matter how many adjustments made etc. so now i'm looking for another skimmer for my 37 gal. fish, live rock and invert tank, i won't spend more than $100 so it looks like either a seaclone, prizm or superskimmer from what i've looked at, which is the best, are there any others for that price that you like more? also, i don't have a sump so it can either hang on the back or be outside the tank and set on the same surface the tank it on if that helps

thanks

Most skimmers "leak," unless it's specifically designed to hang on the tank. And, they have a break-in period before they settle down and skim properly. It can be several hours to a couple of days. They need to get a little dirty before they skim right.

I've heard great things about the Coralife Superskimmer
