The price on the Deltec makes me sad

I used to have a Coralife super skimmer 125 that worked well. They retailed for around 180 busk. You can get a Coralife SS 65 I think but I'm not sure how much they are.

I have a Coralife 65 and it isn't worth it. I know the 125 is far better then the 65. The 65 needs to be CONSTANTLY re-dialed in. Its a PITA!

I would suggest the Aqua C remora. I used it on my 33 reef, not much space used, fairly plug and play and moderatly quiet. I also used it on my 75g reef before I upgraded skimmers - it handeled the larger tank fairly well. And it costs a little bit less then the others suggested.

I like my coralife 65 , It pulls out a ton of more gunk than my remora did and doesnt require me to constantly redial it. I just clean the cup every week and pour out some nasty skimmate.

My vote goes with the Remora. The Deltec is WAY too expensive for what you need, and the Remora has, by and large, gotten pretty good reviews. It's way less likely to overflow than the CSS 65 as well (I'm speaking from experience here...!). That being said, if you want to go with the CSS 65, it will work. I have one on my tank right now, and it's pulling dark, wet skimmate fairly consistently. But you have to watch the water level. If it fluctuates constantly, you'll see it overflow.
