ARGGG our Super Skimmer 220 is a bit too high for the cabinet so we can't use it for the system. I'm in need of another recommendation for a skimmer. I don't want to spend a fortune of course, but don't want to skimp on a skimmer either.

I believe the ASM 3 is shorter than the CSS skimmer you described. Also,
you might consider octopus. I have used several ASMs and was quite happy with them. I have no personal experience with the Octopus, but many people whose judgement I trust like them.
How much room do you have in the cabinet?

With 22" max height you are gonna have a hard time. I was gonna say a modded Nw 150 octopus, but it is 23" tall. Can you use an external skimmer out of the sump and get more clearance?

Update, after looking around at our local reef club sponsor vendors, we ended up getting a H&S in-sump skimmer rated for 150g. Yes it was expensive, but this tank will be with us for a long time so we'll get better than good skimmer for it and don't need to worry about how well the water is skimmed.

The sea clone 100. I am not exactly sure about the hight but i have a 72 bow with oak and it fits right into the wet and dry 75 w/o a problem and it works very good. 79 dollars for the 100 at web aquatics.com And it comes with pump.

We already had a CSS 220 and it was too high so we wanted to get something that will be high quality and skim like there is no tomorrow. After very highly recommended by our reef clubs *big boys* we got the 110-F2000 model from H&S.
