I run a css on my 48g and have not had issues. I think it is a 65. For mine there is a "sweet spot" on the dial between 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock position. 6 is wet skim and 9 is dry. If I leave it on 6 there is chance of overflow but only if I don't watch and something is going on in my tank. (put in a chemical or forget to rinse media or something). If I leave town I set it to 9 and no probs.
An aquaintance of mine has several of these skimmers and they are pulling out some very nasty skimmate, and not overflowing.
Really the only time mine overflowed it was my fault. Once I didn't rinse out a sponge for the baffle (I was replacing the old one and didn't think) and the other time I forget what it was but I know it was my fault, lol.
Granted they are no euroreef, but if money is a big issue they are most certainly better than no skimmer at all. I shudder to think what my tank would look like with no skimmer.
