The Tunze 9002 looks pretty good to but it does sit in the tank. Though it wil still take up as much room as the filter box for a Remora so its really not that big.
gbolton, I see your from the woodlands, i'm also from houston, what fish store do you go to, I used to go to neptunes gardens, but I think that they went out of business, so now I go to pets place off of scarsdale, but I don't really like them, have any ideas?!

What part of Houston are you in? There are a few good shops in the area but depends on what you are looking for. I will be out of town this weekend will give you a better reply on Monday.
Seaclone and Prizm skimmers have very poor reputations.
Coralife Superskimmers are a little more, but seem to perform quite a bit better. They can be a bit touchy to "dial in" initially.
CPR Bakpak and AquaC Remora are even a little more expensive but better quality. Still, some people report bad experiences. These two are easier to tweak and upgrade than the Coralife because that skimmer uses a proprietary pump.
On top of the heap are the Deltec HOB skimmers (specifically the MCE 600). Pretty much plug it in and get ready for the "nog". I don't think I've ever seen a negative review of one. Too bad they go for over US$400 a pop.

On my 30 I am running a Coralife SuperSkimmer, and am quite happy with it. Skims well, fairly quiet, easy to set up, and quite cheap. The down side is that the powerhead is big and ugly.
