Budget Protein Skimmer for a 29g?

[SlowJim]

I am looking at a Prizm skimmer (~$70 shipped) or possibly a Jebo 180 (~50 shipped). Any alternatives I should be considering? I am really not considering anything over $90

All Comments/suggestions welcome

I have a 29G and also have the Prizm Deluxe. At first I was real disappointed with this skimmer, but now (after 4 weeks of breaking in) it's doing a pretty good job, barely any bubbles going back into the tank, and it is pulling some half decent skim-mate out.

if you could,i'd stay away from jebo 180.When I first bought it,it was pretty good,doing a great job,but after a few months its been nothing but a problem,doesn't skim very much if any and the seals that hold it together in certain places are starting to leak. :sad

thanks for the info

also wanted to add, i am not planning on adding any corals, just 2 clownfish and 2 green chromis and some live rock

depending on how much LR you're going to add, not sure you would even really need a skimmer as long as you keep up with your water changes.

screw this, live rock is wayyyy too expensive

saltwater is gonna have to wait until i'm not a poor college student

I also just bought a Prizm skimmer and after 2 days it has broken in and is doing an excellent job. I would also reccomend this skimmer for someone looking to spend right around $115 or less.
