The prizm is not a very good skimmer, but in its price range it is OK.
I would suggest that you move up to a Cpr backpak or AquaC Remora if you
search for used ones they will not cost much more than the Prizm and
they are a lot better skimmers.

I own a PRIZM, and it's not that great... I want to get rid of it, but im
just too cheap to do it...

Spend the extra money and get a bak pak or a remora. I had a Prizm and it
never did skim anything. I have a AquaC Remora on its way now. In the long
run you'll save yourself money and hassle.

I checked out a newsgroup and managed to buy a 2nd hand one for £25 and soon learned why. I even bought a Pro upgrade kit and it only made it a bit quieter but nothing any more efficient. I put up with it until I found another skimmer on eBay. I bought an Aqua-medic Turboflotor SL 1000 Multi for £80.
much better buy so it was.

I have one in the cabinet, and the ten bucks or so I could get for it
doesn't justify the work to pack it up....

I had one but I found it to be really noisy. It skimmed quite well
though but the noise of the thing put me off.
