Are you looking for a hang on or an in sump model? For hang ons, the AquaC Remora is a great skimmer.

I have a HOB Octopus skimmer that seems to do a good job for me on my 55g. It pulls out a good deal of crud. The setup instructions are worthless tho.

This is my oppinion on the coralifes. For a hang on they are horrible. The superskimmers are known for being very picky when it comes to water level. Unless you are running an auto top off they can be a real pain to get dialed in. I have used them in sumps with a constant waterlevel and they did an OK job but nothing like some of the better skimmers. I currently use an octopus recirc but that will not work as a hang on.

I have 2 coralife super skimmer 125's (one for each tank).
They aren't bad but they aren't great.
One I have an airline pushing air into it to provide foam otherwise it likes to just go clear water.
The other works pretty good... seems tough to get "dialed" in perfectly and always needs an adjustment. I would also go sump only as if you don't watch it and they overflow --- well you just overflowed all over your floor where as if they are in a sump it just goes back into the system.
I've checked on them and they each have been overflowing -- probably most of a day back into the sump.. could've been a big mess.
I like them but there's definately better.
