Default Skimmer for a 25g

So i have a Prism on my 25 /w 10g sump and its loud, finicky and plain sucks.

What would be a good skimmer to replace this one with?
i want something quiet that can posssibly fit in my sump, but HOB of sump is good as well, as its a small sump.
i am only planning on a couple clowns and maybe something else small and a clean up crew and some small crabs and shrimp so i shouldent have a huge bioload.

My Aqua C Urchin is small and works fairly well on my 45g

The Deltec MCE300 that just went up in the classifieds would be my top choice for your tank, otherwise AquaC Remoras are ok, and would be my second choice.

Althogh I haven't been overly happy with my Tunze 9010, I have heard/read quite a bit of good about the Nano 9002. I think they are rated for up to aboout 50 gal

I was pretty happy with my cpr bakpak when I had one on my 20 a while ago...
Once you get the prizm dialled down though they're not so bad.
I was shockecd with how well my prizm worked when I had it fine tuned to the tank, so much so that I have to defend the low end skimmer when the chance arises.

Defnitely at the bottom of a good pile though.
That Deltec does look pretty money....

The prizm does work but the slightest thing sets it off again and needs constant fiddling, i would prefer something that i only have to adjust every once in a while, not daily.
I have seeen some aqua c's for cheap so i may go with one of them
thanks
