Which skimmer do you recommend out of these 3?

For a 55G FOWLR

Octopus BH-100
Red Sea Prizm Deluxe
SeaClone 100

Out of those three octopus BH-100, the prizm and seaclone aren't worth their price in acrylic let alone what the sell for.

i am not sure of the other 2.... but i WOULD NOT BUY the seaclone. i used one for 6 months and all that thing did was leak by the time i replaced it. i switched over to a remora hob skimmer and it is an excellent skimmer imo.
