    I need some cheap protein skimmers. I need one for a 10 gallon and one for a 37 gallon. I am not going to go out and spend a bunch of money on a 10 gallon so I need something dirt cheap that just gets the job done. I was looking at the Jebo 180 hang on skimmer, how are those?

    I am looking at the Coralife Super Skimmer. They look to be a good buy. They have one that is rated for up to 65 gal for less than $100.

    Does anyone have any experience with these?

    The impeller on my Coralife 125 wore out after 5 months but it ran half submerged a few time so it is as much my fault as Coralife. The Coralife skimmers a great value and the 65 is a class leader for small skimmers.
    Here are some pics of my 125 in action

    Can say this skimmer isn't kicking butt.

    Hey Super, check out the Propack skimmer at aquatraders.com, it's a clone of the bak-pak skimmer and its only $45. All you need is a small powerhead like the maxijet 1200, it would be perfect for a small tank.
