i have that same skimmer... someone on nano reef.com had a setup to where the section where the skimmer was, had higher baffles. i plan to build my sump that way since im worried about the longer hoses hindering the design.

You probably don't want to move the pump down in the tank since that'll reduce the effectiveness of the venturi. If the tank has decent circulation, moving the skimmer input shouldn't make any difference, anyway. A preskimmer might be worth considering.
