I use a SeaClone 100. Up to 100 gallons. $69.99
I have had good luck with mine but I think most here don't like the SeaClones.

I got the same AquaC as arkey, but for $160
I had a SeaClone and wouldn't recommend it to anyone now. I've heard of others like FishPhreak having luck with them, but I think they're worthless.
The skimmer isn't really something I'd recommend being cheap with. If you need another month to afford a better one . . . wait.

Do you think the surface skimmer/bubble eliminator are worth it?
We probably did.
I like the surface skimmer, I don't have to worry about surface films and such, plus the bubble eliminator does it's job too.

Yes. Arkey and I both use the AquaC Remora on a 55. Send me an email and I can reply with the retailer.

I bought an Aquatic Technologies turbo-venturi skimmer and so far so good. It cost me $50. I had to connect an air pump up to the air intake for it to draw in air correctly, but I got one for free from my college. It works better than any skimmer I've seen with the air pump connected to it imo.
ps- I don't know if mine was defective, but I recieved a lot of input saying that I needed to let the skimmer season overnight before it would intake air correctly on its own. I never gave it a chance because it works damn beautifully with the air pump connect. So nicely, in fact, that I may hook up an air pump to all my future skimmers.

mud, i'm going to check out your skimmer. is it loud? PRIZMS ARE JUNK!!! i would never recommend them. mine are loud, inconsistant flow, and sometimes just don't flow at all. everytime i clean them, they take a few days to adjust and always a new airline. for the price, i'd rather buy crack and kill myself.

From what has been said on this forum, you get mixed reviews. Some say they work fine for them others say they constantly need adjustments and are junk, with you get what you pay for attitude........
