The Vertex 180 is hardly a short skimmer at 24.5" tall. I think ScubaSteve23 was looking for something quite a bit shorter, his current skimmer is an Eshopps PSK-200 that is 23" tall.

+1 on the T5000. I have one on my SPS tank and this thing skims like a dream.

I am not using one, but the tunze 9010 is short. No idea if it is any good though!

hmmm, Rod what are the height measurements on your skimmer? Im thinking that i will redo the sump and make it smaller with room for an inline skimmer...think yours would fit?

There is an SWC Xtreme 180 - only 21" high, may fit your specs.
