    I have the Coralife 125 Super Skimmer for my 55. You could use the Coralife 65 SS and get the job done real well....Just dont get anything that says Jebo on it.

    Are you talking the Octopus BH-100F? If so, it's a great little skimmer. Pack had one on his 40 and it worked fine so far as I know.
