I have a new c-vue 45 AIO that I'm cycling, and would like to find a skimmer that will fit in the small space provided in the sump area. I will link a photo of each baffles dimensions. I've seen a lot of people recomend the tunze 9004, and while I know it's a great skimmer I've heard issues with in in aio's specifically since it has an overflow style intake it doesn't do very well in close quarters/confined areas. I do have a osmolator ATO so putting a slightly larger skimmer in the larger return compartment would be an option.
Secondly, i want to have the skimmer not protrude higher than the tank it's self, as I'm going for a clean aesthetic in a living room display and would rather not have a cup of brown muck sitting g on top of the tank. The tank is 19" tall so I'm looking for a skimmer that's shorter than that.

I do not know if this will help but, Marine Depot did some videos on Will It Fit, you may get lucky.
 

maybe this'll work?
