OK guys. Finally got some money together and of course ready to blow it on the tank. I have yet to get a skimmer so I think it's about time.

This is the proflex sump I'm running. I'm partial to the refugium. As you can see, I don't have a lot of room under the tank and this is a small sump. So can I get a HOB Skimmer that will sit behind the sump and run intake/outlet into the fuge and have the skimmer hang on the back of that middle section. The footprint behind that center section is about 5in deep and 11in wide and a little under 18in tall. I was looking to spend about $200 on a skimmer. Any ideas? I'm having a hard time finding something powerful enough to sit in this section or anywhere for that matter.
Second. My tank is 36x18x21 57G. I have 2 39W actinics and 2 39W 10000Ks running right now. I think I came out to like a little over 3 watts per gallon. I have the perfect amount of room to add a third fixture. so I'd have 3 39W actinics and 3 10000K running. And bump up to 4W/G. I want to stick with the T5s. Whatchya think?
