I have an Aqua-medic Blue T1000 HOB skimmer and I really like it. I don't use it as an HOB, I use in in sump. The big thing is that it's pretty freakin huge. Biggest HOB skimmer I've ever seen. It's pretty quiet and only uses 12W so I can't complain about power usage.
Had to get it from
www.aquacave.com though.
