Protein skimmer suggestions 55 gal

Hi I have a 55 gallon FOWLR set up with just a little bit of live rock, I am looking for suggestions for skimmers in the $100-$200 range. Must hang on the back (no sump).


Thanks in advance

Check out the coralife skimmers. If you can, save up another $50 and you can get a Tunze 9005 which runs inside of the tank. ( very compact )

STAY AWAY FROM SEACLONES!!! TERRIBLE!!!

I'm purchasing an Octopus NW-150 this weekend (NOT SOON ENOUGH), which was recommended by members of RC. I don't know if it has hang-on capabilities or not though.
