    Warner Marine makes a very nice one, not sure about availability. MSX/SWC makes good ones. You need to see about space you have.

    Powerman, compliments on the explanation. There is a reason why you have >12K karma and I added to it. Great thoughts.

    I personally run both my canister and Skimmer, no issues and the fish seem to enjoy the flow still.

    not trying to suggest it, but I run a seaclone... I have yet to have an issue with mine other then the air valve needs to be tweeked often with the water volume change... I pull out about a collection cup once to twice a week... Rather inexpensive, HOB, and not to much space needed.

    Just throwing it out there. I know someone did MOD one of them and make a forum post on it.

    Will probably fit in your tight space as well,needs only about three inches of clesrance between tank and wall.
