 |  Very Cheap Protein Skimmers Needed!
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? |

Jebo Skimmer
Here is a thread on Jebos. I have 1 on a 55. It's OK, nothing too special except for the price. The pump is on the cheap side. I tend to get a more watery foam from it than a SeaClone. I think you can get them for $60 delivered from E-Bay. It will probably handle your needs.

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.  | |
