out of whack skimmer...need some suggestions

So my Reef Octopus HOB is giving me some overflow issues, and i am a little weary and am looking to replace..i have a 29g reef with a skimmer rated for a 100g im looking to do this potential new skimmer somewhat on a budget. Does anyone have any luck or suggestions for a good cheaper skimmer more compatible with my tank??

Really not familiar with HOB skimmers but if you were willing to go with an internal (can go in display), you could consider the 9002.

I have a AquaC nano and it's ok, I regret not getting the Aqua Maxx 1 HOB.
