help with a skimmer please

[uncleant]

So i am at the point were i need a new protien skimmer. The one my proclear aquatics wet/dry came with just is not working good enough and neither is the wet/dry lol, it was a mistake getting that. I dont want to spend alot of money cause im on a restricted budgit hahha. can anyone think of a skimmer that would be good for me?

To me one of the best for the money is Aqua-C Remora, there a great ! Skimmer. The pro-clear is good but they do tend to crap out in a yr or 2. But look up the above mentioned skimmer. There Great!

Check out Current Fission skimmers. Mine kicks butt.

Looks like the Octopus NW would be best for the buck--IMO.

Are you going to use this in a sump? Or as a Hang on back?

The least expensive skimmer than performs like the high end/high performance skimmers is the new ATi Bubblemasters. It's more expensive than your average skimmer, but then you can't compare performance as these guys skims like a beast. I just installed a BM160 and it outperforms the AquaC Remora Pro and Tunze 9010 that I had earlier. In fact, there's no comparison at all.
