H.O.T. protein skimmer suggestions

[BrianH]

I am currently running a prizm skimmer on my 50 gal reef tank. I've been thinking about upgrading the skimmer and am looking for suggestions. The models I'm interested in are:
Aqua C Remora pro
PM HOT1
Prizm pro deluxe

I would appreciate any experience you can offer in regards to these or any other HOT skimmers. Another point I have to consider is clearance. I currently have 4 3/4 clearance behind my tank. If needed, I could probably move the tank out a bit but I'd rather not.

Thanks

Brian

i have a 55g and i use the cpr bak-pak 2 on my tank. it is an excellent skimmer and it also has a bio filter setup. runs about 125-150 and is very simple to install. i highly recommend it. you can find one online at petsolutions.com

I started my tank 3 years ago and have owned only one skimmer (PM HOT1). Its been working fine, its well built, relatively easy to clean and it uses a RIO pump. The only downside is it puts some tiny bubbles in the tank.
