My seaclone 50 is starting to act up badly and I think it's time to upgrade. Are there any decent skimmers for a 20g tank that are hob and not costing an arm and a leg. 150 and under

I won a small Tunze in tank skimmer here at R2R and I thought, OK, I'll give it a try and see what I think. That was 9 months ago and it's still in my 16g tank and doing a pretty good job. The collection cup is small and it's a bit touchy about water levels. I let my water evaporate until the skimmer tells me it's time to add water, like every 2 or 3 days. It starts off with a soft sucking sound that gets louder as the level goes down.

I have Bubble Magus 3.5 skimmer I'd sell for $85 shipped/paypal'd from Canada, if you are looking for a used item.
It has a pretty small foot print, quiet and works great.
But not sure if you are looking for a hang on back or sump style.

Ah ok.
I really liked my Tunze 9004 but it was an in tank skimmer. Pulled darker skimmate than my IM desktop skimmer.
