Allow me to put a vote in for the Aqua C, as well. It pulled endless amounts of skunge out of my tank- many people who have used it and the bakpak say the Aqua C is even better. But it ain't super cheap.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I already have an Aqua C Remora and I found the BackPak too big and noisy as my 2nd skimmer. The AquaC is OK but not super great at the moment. Maybe my impeller is worn out. I don't think I need another expensive $250+ skimmer though. Just want a $100 skimmer w/ media chamber. The Prism is $109 at J&L. I have 2 offers at the moment I'm considering and I've put a bid on EBay for a Prism Deluxe.

The Prism Pro Deluxe sounds awesome but I don't want to spend that much. The regular Prism was $99 there though which is a great deal.

However, I decided and purchased an airstone driven skimmer. I have been reading that they aren't bad. Lots of people on nano-reef.com use them for their small tanks. They are quiet as well. This is exactly what I want as a second skimmer. I'm going to try it and see how it performs. I really wanted to try the Red Sea Berlin Air Lift but ended up with a medium Lee's Counter Current. The Coralife Super Skimmer I (Co-Current) would have been another good choice as a second skimmer as it could sit in my Aquaclear 200.

My AquaC Remora is currently not collecting anything at all and probably needs another cleaning (was cleaned last month) so I haven't been happy with it lately. With the crazy bioload I have, it should be pulling out tons of gunk.

I'll be sure to report back on the performance of this skimmer.
