Short Quality Sump Skimmer

[shawn_dude]

I have a very short sump with a maximum height of 20" from floor to top. I need a quality skimmer but most I've seen are too tall for my sump. My tank is a 55 ga. corner tank. Does anyone out there know of a quality skimmer that will fit my sump? Moneys not an option.
Thanks!

I had a similar problem with my 75, where i only had 20" with wich to operate and clean my skimmer. I ended up with an aquaC ev-120, at about 18" tall, it only needs another half inch or less to ge tthe cup off.
good luck

Anglachel....thanks for the suggestion. Did I say price was not an option...catalog MSRP is $299.00, guess it's E-Bay time.
Thanks Again,
Shawn

i thought 'money's not an option' was a typo for 'money's no object'
unless you can find something used, you'll be hard pressed to find an affordable, competant skimmer for under 200.
