Moving from my 75 gallon to my AIO 40, so this won't fit. It's the Reef Octopus NWB150 6" Pinwheel In sump protein skimmer.
Manufacturer rated to 150 gallons.
BRS rated to 120 gallons.
I used it on my 90 gallon system and it worked wonders! I bought it because It has the highest review score that I could find, 4.9/5!
The dimensions are 12" x 8.5" x 22.13". Comes with everything that It originally came with, even the plug and hose for the cup, and gate valve!

I soaked everything is a vinegar bath for a day so now it's all clean and new again. BRS sells for 225, asking $150 Or trade for smaller skimmer?
Here's the link to it on BRS : http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/reef-octopus-nwb150-6-pinwheel-in-sump-protein-skimmer.html

Cad Lights PLS100 might work for you. 4 3/4 X 4 3/4 footprint. I have the Gen2 version, but they can be touchy. Skims like Crazy, but I have to clean the venturi every 4-6 weeks. Air intake nozzle is like 1/16" and doesnt take a lot to clog it.

Interesting! I wonder if you could drill the hole a little bit bigger to help out on that. I'll check it out, thanks!

I actually did drill it out, and its probably more line a 1/8" hole, but its still a maintenance item. The gen 3 is probably better, every time they change it, they work out a couple bugs. It defiantly looks like tuning the gen 3 is improved.
