    Reef Octopus BH 100 Hang on Back Protein Skimmer - AquaCave

    AquaC Remora Protein Skimmers Aqua C Remora Reef Aquarium

    These seem to fit the bill in relation to dimensions

    SWC skimmers - checked the site but the dimensions are not listed for the BH100F model HOB they have ( colorado Reef and mikejrice? should know and maybe they will add the dimensions to their site as that will help potential customers.)

    Steve

    edit - do you mean space behind the tank - if so the above should be OK
    If not - please ignore me
