I have limited stand space and i'm considering getting a skimmer to hook up in line [not in-sump]. Is there a good one with a footprint of about 5x5 inches? I have about 24 inches of height to spare, it's the footprint that's the problem.

thanks

that will be a problem. in order to have an efficent skimmer you need to have a main reaction chamber that is at least 6" and better to be 8" for that hight.
what size tank is this going on???

i dont think there is a skimmer that has a 6" foot print made. due to the pumps hanging off the side of them. the reaction chamber is 6" and them add the pump to that and it would end up something like 6"x10"
