I can certainly vouch for the urchin pro by AquaC. I junked the rio that it came with and slaped a mag5. I think that some online store have options where you can get a mag3 but I used the mag 5 and it was an unstoppable skimmer. The tank it was on was a 50 gallon reef with a 30 gallon sump and a 15 gallon fuge.

......MY Aqua C Remora hang on is by far the best skimmer I've owned or seen operate. I can't see you going wrong with this in sump skimmer.

What skimmer is best for you depends mainly on your budget and if you need an in-sump or hang-on. Because you've already said you need an in-sump skimmer, all we need to know now is how much you're willing to spend.
