The AquaC Remora and Remora Pro units are nice HOB skimmers.

my vote is for the coralife super skimmer. come in three sizes 65,120,250 i think. well worth the 100+ bucks

Its hard to beat AquaC Remora's ease of use and low maint. I use a remora and a remora pro on my 2 tanks.

If you want the best HOB availble I would get the Deltec mce600. I love mine, produces lots of nasty nog. I owned a remora pro and CSS no where near the production of the deltec. It is pricey but for the price of paying for the coralife super skimmer and remora pro I could have bought this skimmer the first time and save the money for fish and corals.

There's a slight tweak that I've discovered with the Remora and Urchin skimmers. Stick something like a toothpick on the outlet side of the skimmer so it tilts ever so slightly. This allows the bubbles to travel towards the reaction chamber much faster and increases dry foam skimmate
