Personally I love my EuroReef, but there are many many many other great brands out there such as Aqua C, Precision Marine, and many others. Of course, there is always the custom skimmer route which is a fair bit cheaper when it comes to bigger skimmers. A couple of skimmers that I've never used, but heard many BAD things about are the Prism, SeaClone, and Skilter.

Just be prepared to spend a good wad of cash if you go with the brand name store bought ones. Also, keep an eye out on the various reef forums for used equipment. Many good deals can be had buying used stuff.
