Skimmer Selection?

[Singelmalts]

I have a 55 gal and am in the market for a new Protein Skimmer. I have a Prizm now but am going to upgrade the filtration to a wet/dry sump. Problem is that I have about 24 inches of clearance under my stand and need something that will fit. I was looking at a Berlin Turbo. The Dr. Foster and Smith site says it's 21 inches high which would be ok but the Aquaria Depot site says its' 23 inches tall (too big). I couldn't find dimensions on the Red Sea Site. Can someone tell me how big the skimmer actuall is? Also appreciate any recommendations of other products.

Thanks as always.

When I first set up my 80gal, I bought a Berlin Turbo. I also have 24" under my tank and it fit just fine. Once I got it dialed in, it worked ok. It was a pain to clean. I never really felt it did a great job at skimming, but it did work. I've since upgraded to a LifeReef. It also fits under the 24" and is much easier to clean. It also skims really well and is super easy to adjust.
