quality skimmer for $100?

[moparmussel]

i need a quality skimmer for a 55 gallon tank,and have $100 to spend. is there one brand or type that will work well? i have a skimmer now,water flows into the bottom vortex,pumps out the top,no bubbles.

Octopus needle wheel 110, $139.00. Thats the best your gonna get in that price range. If you have a sump that is. If not and your looking at a HOB,I cant vouch for their version, but it looks like a decent design. Still though 100 bucks wont quite get you there.

i use a coralife super skimer rated for 65 gallons on my 55 and it works great, i dont have much to compare it to but my seaclone, but that is pretty much junk.
