Do you have a set budget in mind? Are you going with a low bioload/high? SPS Reef/Softies? I'm assuming you have a sump, what's the footprint?

$200 dollars is what I call the wife budget :-/
It was a fish only tank but im going to be adding some Zoa 's soon .
Not much of a bio-load ........
2- clownfish
2- firefish
2- shrimps

if those are all the fish you are going to have in a 55 I wouldnt even run a skimmer. Just a decent sump setup with some filter socks, carbon,phosban and water changes will keep that tank happy.

Ive never used or seen the Bubble magus nac-3 in action but its got to be better than the coralife skimmers.

Just in case I do decide to "load" the tank up . I quess the B.M. Nac-3 is going to be the one for me

that's a pretty low bioload. Are you planning on adding more fish?
I just bought a new skimmer, but I've been using a Euro Reef RS-80 on my tank (40 breeder) and it works great.

Either that, or I can give you a few more to look at (not in any particular order)...

-Vertex IN-80 (+/-$175 new)
-SWC 120 Cone ($225)
-I've heard the Bubble Magus skimmers are good as well.
