I have a 50 gallon reef and made the mistake of buying a red sea prizm deluxe. i need an excellent protein skimmer that is almost effortless to use at a good price. also it needs to be hang on because i have no sump.
thanks

Either a Remora or Bak-Pak are both decent for that size tank, or if money is not an issue then get a Deltec.

ASM and Euro Reef are also very popular and highly regarded.

The coralife super skimmer (either a 125 or 220) are great priced efficient skimmers. Not as plug and play as the higher end, but lots of good things have been said about them in here. Only real drawback is you gotta set em up right, know how to fiddle with them, and possibly mod em (all mods are pretty simple on them though).
