For a 4ft, if your lookin for something cheap, you can try the Weipro skimmer. There are other budget brands around but i'm not sure of the performance. Don't get those airpump driven skimmers, although very cheap but are the least inefficient of the lot and not suitable for such a large tank.

I used the Weipro 2014 for my old 4x2x2, quite satisfied with the skimmate produced for the price. I believe around $100,$100+ at most should get you both the skimmer and the pump to drive it. It can be installed in the sump.

The last time i was at Reborn Aquarium a few weeks ago, i remember seeing some Weipro skimmers on sale there. Their located along Lavendar street. I'm not sure which other marine LFS carry this brand.
