Bak Pak Questions

[cich-o]

I have foun one for $50. Is this a good price? I also wanted to know if :
1. Are they easy to clean/maintain?
2. Do they shoot tiny bubbles into the tank?
I know it is a low end skimmer but I am a budget reefer and I only have about a $100 to spend on my skimmer so should I buy this one or hold out for a better skimmer? I am doing regular water changes and my nitrates are <5. TIA You guys are great.

I am looking at the Bak Pak, Seaclone 150,and Prizm. Which one would you folks recommend and why?

I don't have any experience, but I've had my SeaClone 100 seems really nice. I had one major accident with it (shudder) that was actually my fault, and it is loud, which I'm told is normal, but it picks up crap like no one's business. I spent $70 on it, and you could probably get it for 10-15 bucks cheaper online.

Bak Paks pretty good, I have one on a 30 gallon. You'll get bubbles to begin with but they soon stop once its worn in. Get the Aqua C Remora if you can afford it. Best hang on model about.
