I didn't see where you ordered a skimmer yet... If not, I would give Lifereef a call. He makes skimmers that will support your needs, IMO, the best bang for the buck on skimmers and they can be used with any pump that will put up the required flow. Ask anyone who owns a Lifereef and you will quickly see they do not disappoint. One rated for 700g is less than $1100, and one rated for 1500g is $1200. Good luck with your build, will be checking back in.
