Sorry for multipost:
Can anyone recommend a protein skimmer that is no taller than 18" (stand
cabinet's limit) that can handle 55gallon main tank + 20 gallon sump?
Thanks in advance

A Remora would hang on the tank, or a Urchin would fit in the sump.

I would recommend the Pro model of either, since you have more than 65g
total. They are made by AquaC.

Here's the link for the AquaC. The sump model Urchin is 18" high and the
hang-on Remora is 17.5" high. I had a small wet/dry that came with a
built-in skimmer. I took that out and replaced with a Remora. What a
difference!!
