skimmer for 90gal help

hey,

I have a 90gal tank thats going to house an

Goldentail moray
Anthias
flame hawk
and yellow tang

Now for skimmer my stand is just shy of 26'' and was thinking of an ASM G3 but i dont know if ill be able to take the cup out all the way lol. So the ASM G2 is also good(shorter). But i really like the euro reefs. The main prob besides the tallness is i cant spend more than 280$ I dont care if its used. Can any of you guys help me out with advice? Thanks alot and have a good one.

Its my understanding that you only need about 1" to remove the cup.

You barely need any space at all to remove the cup; technically, probably less than 1".

Stick with the g3 (or larger). I got a g2 for my tank, and I am now going to be purchasing a MRC MR-2 because the G2 isnt enough.
