I have been using a CPR Bak-Pak for years.
However, if you have the cash, the AquaC Remora line gets rave reviews...

I'd look at something like Ecosystem skimmer/refugium combination.

Mr. Moneybags....

I use my CPR in my home-made refugium myself...
Ecosystem and CPR pro stuff is nice but way too expensive for my blood...

Use the Remora Aqua C Pro. I have the regular Remora on a 72 and my LFS
tells me I'm underskimming. Probably going to sell the Remora and get the
Remora pro. Don't ask me why because I have absolutely no problems to report
at this time. I'm just buying into the "bigger is better" thing.

Fancy Sump/Refugium/Skimmer systems are a bit pricey for my humble hobby
here.

Turboflotor 1000 multi. Great skimmer for a reasonable price. Remora C
is also quality gear.

I might be interested in your prizm for a nano reef. What are you asking?
For the money I'd go with an Aqua-C Remora you cant beat it on a tank of
your size.

If you buy a coralife super skimmer and go to their website and
download the updated install specs and directins you will find it a
very efficient skimmer with the most bang for the buck thats available
to day that will actually skim and not cost you a small fortune to buy
a name. Coralife super skimmers got off to a bad start when there was
some worng setup directions included, but they have it worked out now,
and they are super......I have 3 of them and would buy a forth if the
need arose
