What Skimmer To Use

[fuzz1974]

HELLO, I HAVE BEEN READING FOR A COUPLE DAYS ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF SKIMMERS. I HAVE A 55GAL. ALL GLASS. NO OVERFLOW HOLES IN MY TANK.
I HAVE READ ABOUT SKILTER FILTERS, I HAVE FOUND MIXED REVIEWS ON THESE FILTERS. I HAVE ALSO READ ABOUT HOB PROTEIN SKIMMERS, ALSO WITH MIXED REVIEWS. THE BIGGEST CONCERN I HAVE WITH THE HOB PROTEIN SKIMMER IS THE FLOODING.
IT SOUNDS AS THE SKILTER IS A "SAFER" ALTERNATIVE. HOWEVER IT SEEMS AS IF IT IS NOT A QUALITY SKIMMER.

IF THERE IS ANYBODY WHO COULD MAYBE SUM THE 2 UP FOR ME I WOULD APPRECIATED IT.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME.
