My current set up has my sump one level below my display tank in a utility room. I'm going to be moving in a month, and I will re-plumb my system so the sump is in the tank stand, below the tank. I need recommendations for a new protein skimmer that will fit in my new setup and (of course) skim really well.

The relevant numbers are:

Available space in the return chamber of my sump: 11 x 6 x 17 inches
Height of the tank stand: 34 inches
Total water volume: 115 gallons

Thanks!
 
Reef Octopus 150ss. 7.3x9 inch footprint and 20.5 inches tall. Rated (by BRS) for:
Light Stocked - 160 Gallons
Medium Stocked - 110 Gallons
Heavily Stocked - 65 Gallons
I use an RO 110ss which utilizes a similar design and same pump only rated for smaller systems and it works great.
