I know the skimmer is one of the most vital parts and cheap isn't the way to go but im married. That means I have a budget. Im trying to stay close to $100 as I can without buying a pos. I only have a 50 gallon.with small frags sps and lps. I found these on amazon and wanna know which is the better deal.

also reef octo and eshopps both make good skimmers but out of the two i would go eshopps simply because the eshopps takes less space up in the tank and still performs
 
i have an eshopps hob 75g been on my 40 for about a year. Still working great. Actually better than my much more expensive RO in my 80g. It was a PIA to get dialed in (overflowed for a while until it settled in) but works like a charm. Just need to keep the sponge clean or it clogs. I clean it with my normal water changes.
 
If you have a sump I would check out the SCA 301. There are frequently sales on Amazon. I got mine half off on a random sale and I have not had any issues once it broke in, which took about a week or so. I have seen that model for around $100 on several occasions.
