Shorter protein skimmer

[minordetails]

Hi, I just bought a 90 gallon tank to upgrade from my 55 and I want to put a sump/refugium underneath. I'm planning on about a 29 gallon tank underneath and was looking for a good in-sump skimmer. The problem is the stand that came with the tank is only about 25" tall. Anyone have a recommendation on shorter skimmers so I would still have room to take off the cup and empty it?

SWC 160 cone protien Skimmer - I think the minimum height it 21 inches - collection cup needs 1/2 " to remove. I have one on my system and it really skims well. I few others on this site have them as well.

Got my new skimmer, just finished siliconing my sump tank, can't wait to get it all together!
I was pretty shocked at the size of this. I knew it was pretty big but my last skimmer was a seaclone 100 lol!

My LFS only sells those Seaclone skimmers, and IMO ...absolute garbage.

I made the mistake of using the sea clone it sucked.

I looked at it, looked "fragile" Berlin (Rea Sea) makes good products, the pet store sells something else, I have used just Sanders and Rea Sea Models, and it seems like Sanders in Germany is more focused on commercial equipment today.
