seaclone?

ok i was wanting an inexpinsive hob skimmer for my 55 gallon reef. the 55 will have a few softies and 4 or 5 fish with a clean up crew. 60 lbs of lr and 3" sand bed. the reef is temporary untill i can find a good house. so this is not a long term skimmer. i looked at the seaclone is that any good?

the odyssea ps60 and 75 are great for the price, a lot better than seaclone and a lot cheaper.

aquatraders.com for the ps75, a decent unit.
Another good, cheap skimmer is the D&D marine typhoon. Drfosters for $68.
PLEASE do not get a seaclone (or a prism for that matter).....crap.
