Default Skimmer upgrade

Which skimmer should I get? I really really want this one
http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewIt...oduct=AC400I55
but $800 dollars is a little to much for me to shell out
I'm looking for a $200-$300 quality skimmer
http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewIt...product=AC120M
like this one

This is an excellent line of skimmers. I use one myself and have been very pleased with the performance. http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewIt...roduct=ES33004

Aqua c's are pretty good skimmers from what I've heard.

I would have to agree on the Coralife skimmer for the price. I have one too and it does its job well. Can be picky until broke in, but I have never heard of a skimmer that wasnt a little finiky at times.

As far as the aquac that is something that I have heard alot of good things about.
