Default skimmer for a 40 breeder

I'm looking for a fairly good in sump skimmer for a 40 breeder with a 29 for a sump. Does anyone have any suggestions for a skimmer around $200 or less?

I'm running an ASM g1X gate valve, recirc, and mesh mods on my 50 breeder. Works great for my setup.

Here is a link on how to do one. I was lucky enough to have a friend that bought some of the mesh and had enough left over to do mine. Hope this helps.

I'm using an Aqua C EV with a mag 7 on my 40 breeder with 10 gallon sump. I dont care for it at all. A friend is letting me borrow it.

I am going to upgrade my sump to a 20long and see if I cant fit me a Euro Reef RS-80 in there

210g AGA megaflow in the works.
