I have the Aqua C Remora Pro on my 55 gallon. I love it. It's easy to use and clean. All you do is hook a pump up to it and it goes. IMO it's the best HOB for the $$$$.

coralife super skimmer 120 needle wheel, even the 90 would be good on your tank......cost about 150$ and IMHO its the best bang for the buck

Deltec MCE300 here. Check out the deltec forum for pictures and a review. It's expensive though.

im in the uk and iv just ordered a remora, iv heard so many good things about them and its so slim, i can move my 50 gln tank nearer to the wall. its got a hard act to follow tho,im useing a deltec mce600 at the moment [i dont really expect it to perform to the same level as a skimmer costing twice as much].but hope its enough for my 50.
