Default protein skimmer

ok i'm looking for a good protein skimmer for a 72 gal. I'm looking for somthing that isn't ridiculously expensive but still does a decent job. I don't keep sps or and any picky stuff and i do regular decent size water changes so i'm not looking for a 1000 skimmer here. Any suggestions on a particular one? Where to buy one at?

Try ebay, craigslist, or the for sale forums...you just might get lucky finding a deltec.

I believe a aqua c remora would work for you also.
