SR Aquaristik Pro Skim 80. 15 1/2 inches high according to their website but mine measures 16 to the top of the lid.
 
How much room will you have above the top of the skimmer cup to remove the cup?
 
I had a short stand before and it was tough to get the correct skimmer, some require 2 or 3 inches to remove the cup, so does a 15" clearance turn into a 18" clearance?

If I had to guess I have about 20” of total clearance. My sump is 16” tall. I’ll measure to see exact.
 
So what is the volume of your DT?
Are you keeping SPS?
What is your budget ?
