HOB protein skimmer?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a hang on back protein skimmer that would handle a 55 for around $200?

Thanks

I was looking at the Reef Octopus Classic BH-1000 Protein Skimmer.

Look at the Reef Octopus Classic BH90HOB. It has more of the cone shaped body... supposedly more efficient. If I was setting up a tank of your size with an HOB skimmer, that would be my first choice.
