Skimmer recommendation

[bigyankfan]

I am thinking of upgrading to a 115 tall and will build myself a custom cabinet lower than the standard 30" (say 22 - 24" high) so the whole setup is not freakishly tall. Here is my question: can anyone recommend a good skimmer for a 115 that is 20" tall or less, including clearance for cup removal. I currently have a Euroreef RS-135 that I love (especially the zero clearance collection cup) but it is 25" tall. Thx.

Thx, but even though it has a small footprint, it still needs 24" of height to remove the cup.

what if you add a remote cup.. put a couple drains into the side of the cup and have them drain to a remote container that you can easily service?
