Does anyone know if this will work
or have a skimmer that i could buy to put into my sump?
I have never set up one before but thought it was a good deal!

Is your tank drillable? you should have it drilled and install a built in overflow, you will be displease w/ any over the back overflow. I currently run one an eshop from aquarium designs, and it is mediocre at best

that overflow box is designed so that the syphon will not break so as long as your pump is not too powerfull you wont have a problem there. does your skimmer fit in your sump? or is it hang on the back? if its hob then i think you would be fine with that setup. its pricey and you can find one on here for about half the price but its good.
