Which HOB Skimmer for 40 breeder?

[Reef161]

I am setting up a 40 gal for my son and want to have live rock and a few clowns. I would like to stay under 170 dollars for a skimmer but don't want something that I have to constantly mess with and definitely want it to have an overflow valve. Any suggestions? I am running 2 Aqua clear 70 filters also.

Im running a Reef Octopus 90 HOB on both my 40B and my 25 Rimless cube.
I love it! Small in tank profile, pump is external, quiet, pulls out dark coffee skimmate.
Super easy to adjust and use.

I have had great results with eh AquaMaxx HOB-1 on my 45 rimless AIO. Little more than the budget but it works great!

i use AQUAC REMORA PRO on my 60 gallon. no complains it does what I need it to do. only had micro bubbles maybe for like 2 hrs when I first started it up and it cleared up right away. .

Tunze 9004 is my recommendation I just set one up on my 29 acclimation tank it's quiet and easy to use
