    Protein Skimmers?

    I currently have a seaclone 100 on my 30 gallon, and it works great for that size tank. I just bought a 55 Gallon last weekend, and was wondering what kind of skimmer should I buy. I doubt a seaclone would be effective on this tank so I want to go with something else. Does anyone recommend...
