I have a Seaclone on my 55. Its works OK .I guess. The Aqua C Remora w/maxi jet pump is supposed to be way better for 55.

I remember reading somewhere that they tend to fill up and overflow with water.
Maybe someone else can add to this.

I have had the Prizm pro deluxe running on my 37g for a month now. After I figured out how it works I really haven't had to mess with it at all. It's a little noisy but I don't really know how loud/quiet other skimmers are so I can't compare. The noise doesn't bother me at least. It's a good skimmer, I use it without the carbon in the filter section though since I have a Millenium 3000 running also.

The main point here is that when you get into the lower priced skimmers there is usally something about it that is lacking or not up to par. You can do a google on all those brands mentioned and you will find lots of negative comments. Even the ones that aren't negative still say that its OK, except for, something. If you want a really good skimmer from every aspect you are going to have to graduate to a little higher class. I read articles and comments on these things everyday and out of the lower priced skimmers Bak-pak and Aquar C have the fewest negative remarks and when people praise them they are always better than just OK. If you want to go to the next level you might as well skip alot of the in betweens and go for an ASM. These are Euro-Reef knockoffs and for alot less bucks. I've yet to find someone put ASM skimmers down.

The ASM skimmers are made by the other half of EuroReef after the two companies split. These are excellent skimmers utilizing THE SAME PUMPS, SAME DESIGN, and SAME AWESOME EFFICIENCY as the EUROREEF models. The ONLY difference is: The ASM skimmer utilizes an Extruded PVC body to save on manufacturing costs! Euroreef uses cell cast acrylic. Also, there is no threaded union for the collection cup. The ASM Skimmer uses a slip fit with an O-Ring. Excellent and very easy to take off and clean!
The same pump, same impeller system and same efficiency at a lower price.
*************** G-1X approx. $209.00. 120gal.

Try online retailers. I found mine for $160 including shipping, but you might find a better price. A famous auction site has quite a few with decent "buy it now" prices.
You won't regret getting the Remora. I love mine!
