I really like our Sea Clones. You can get them for pretty cheap at Pets Mart if you print off the prices of their interent site.

If you're into the "DIY" thing - make your own. I modified a "nano" skimmer I found on another board to work on my 40gal -- it works GREAT! First time I ever worked with Acrylic and now I'm hooked. I keep finding excuses to make things out of acrylic. (Wife's kind of amused.....)

Heck - you can even make one out of just PVC: World's Ugliest Protein Skimmer - http://www.krob.com/aquarium/skimmer.htm

Im not sure if you have a sump or not but I have an aquamedic turbofloter 1000 complete with pumps. This unit is made to sit in a sump.

Is it for sale or are you just saying that it is cheap?
