People seem happy with the coralife skimmer. Mine's been good for a few months. Bulky but skims well and easy to use.
Don't know about the ViaAqua.

can you hang it off the side of the tank because I don't have any room in the back right now, when I set it up I didn't leave enough room?
Depends on how you have your lights and lid arranged, I suppose. It would look funny but may be possible.
Hey Dave I have been having this brownish slime starting to cover my sand bed and my water looks a little dingy, I checked my water and the only thing that is a little off is my NO3 would that make this problem, and I have been feeding alot less since my last water change which was last friday. And last but not least once I get a skimmer would this problem go away?
I found this skimmer and was wondering if anyone is using this or heard anything about it before I buy. It's called a prizm skimmer here is the info: Compact and extremely efficient! Suitable for marine and reef aquariums up to 90 gallons, the new Prizm protein skimmer outperforms all other skimmers in its class. It features a 2-stage, convergent-divergent reaction chamber that enhances the skimming effect and triple pass air flow that extends the contact time. The quiet and efficient 12-blade TurboJet pump injects both air and water and is completely adjustable. The slim-line design can hang on the back of a tank and is only 2.4" thick. Includes instructions, 115V/60 Hz. Weighs 10 lbs. One-year warranty. 
It will help. In my most recent setup, the brown slime went away quickly and permanently after adding a skimmer.reefking said:
I have not used the Prizm skimmer, but have heard very mixed reviews. Among HOB skimmers, the bakpak, coralife and remora skimmers consistently get good reviews. I have used the bakpak and coralife, and have been happy with them.
These days, I think they all come with maxijets. A step up from the Rios they used to have.reefking said:
Dave,
do you have a picture of the coralife skimmer attached to your system? I am trying to determine if this can sit under my aquarium with hoses running to the tank or if it has to be even with the surface. I am limited on space on sides and back but have available space underneath.
Thanks
