Imo a skimmer on a tank this small is pointless. Water changes will manage wates export. Plus options on skimmers that small are jsut not effective enough. I remember the skimmer released for the biocube and it was a joke. Here is wnat I would do.
1st chamber filer sponge, carbon bag and gfo bag
2nd chamber lit chaeto fuge wirh some LR rubble on the bottom
3rd chamber MJ1200 return pump with Hydor Flo wave maker on the return outlet.
For lighting I would considered uograding the PC lighting to LED either a DIY in the hood or a small Kessiel or a quality clamp on mini LED pendant even a PAR38 would work. The PC lights will work for softies and lps but I have never liked the color. For in tank flow a Nano Korilia on a wave maker would work well.
