I have an Aqua-medic Turboflotor Blue which can be HOB or in sump (I use it in sump) on my 70G and it's only 18.5" tall. I really like it and though I'm not sure who carries it in Calgary (probably Wei's) I got mine from Aquacave.com (they ship to Canada fine) and it's only $179.
I think its a great skimmer for the dough. Set and forget with a very large skimmer cup and really low power usage at only 12W on the meshwheel pump. Pulls a fully cup of skim-mate from my tank every week.
Something else to think about I guess.
