Skimmer suggestions.

I'm now looking for a new skimmer!!
I thought I'd found the PERFECT one, perfect height, perfect footprint, rated for the perfect amount of water made by a very reputable brand. But that one fell through.
So now I'm after suggestions!
I have 8x8" footprint and 16.25" from the bottom of the sump to the underside of the stand, so more like 15" so I have space to remove the collection cup.
The tank is ~30gal, but I will definitely be adding another 20gal in the form of an external fuge and possibly another 10gal for a frag tank. So total water volume could be as much as ~60gal.
Medium bioload, mainly LPS with the odd SPS in the mix somewhere.
If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
Thanks

I'm looking for a skimmer to fit a similar space. Don't have any experience to draw on but the Aqua Gadget Skimmate full size will fit that space. It is recommended for 60 to 120 gal tanks.

Thanks! I'll look into those.
Any other suggestions?

Bump for skimmer suggestions.

With that kind of height restriction you may be better off going with a hang on skimmer and making your existing sump into a Fuge.

External skimmers are another option
