    Welcome to 3reef.

    I have a 29g tank and I use a AquaC Remora HOB with no complaints. If you're looking for for a in sump skimmer, I'm sure someone else will chime in soon who has experience with some in sump models.

    Well price depends on where you decide to get your skimmer from. I got mines off ebay for $65.

    See the 4th paragraph for what a sump is.
