As the title says I'm looking for a good inexpensive skimmer.

I have a 55 gallon tank with a very small load (4 fish right now, but would like more) and mostly softies for corals, (want to go the LPS, SPS really don't do it for me).

I'm looking at the following...

Reef Octopus NWB110 4†Pinwheel In Sump Protein Skimmer

Bubble Magus BM-NAC3+ Protein Skimmer


Bubble Magus BM-NAC3.5 Cone Protein Skimmer

Opinions or other suggestions appreciated..

Thanks.
 

Somebody just posted a SWC 120 Cone Skimmer for $125 shipped, great Skimmer for the money IMO/IME

Cheers, Todd
