I have a Vertex 180 in one of my tanks that I'm pretty happy with thus far...A BK may eventually find it's way in there but costs more bling...can you say "bling" anymore?

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?
