    Yep if you had an inch and a half more the extreme 200 would be perfect. Good luck getting one right now though... seems like everywhere is sold out...

    I got my Octo when everyone said they were sold out... I got it from Premium Aquatics, they listed it as sold out but I know a guy with a wholesale account there and he got me one no problem. I would ask them if they are out for sure...

    I have a G2.. It is 21.25" inches tall and does a great job on my 120. Many people say my skimmer is not big enough for my 120, but it is rated to 200 and may params stay good. I have enjoyed mine, though I do not have experience with any of the others

    How about a Tunze Classic DOC, they are short, they skim great and they don't take up a lot of space, I have one and its just sittin on egg crate in the sump, super dry skimmate and it was actually less money than some of the ones the guys at the local LFS tried to sell me. This is my second one though so I was kind of biased. But it would definately fit.
