Skimmer for 60g Cube

[Bucks149]

I am in the process of a 60g cube reef build. I haven't decided whether this aquarium will be a mixed reef setup, or an SPS dominant tank. The challenge I am having is locating a quality skimmer that will be able to fit in my 10g aquarium with with my Eheim Compact pump, that will also skim a large enough volume of water.

Any thoughts/ suggestions?

Never used a HOB skimmer but these are fairly popular.

Are you able to get a larger sump? 10 gallons is going to be pretty small for a 60g.

The challenge is that the 60g cube has a 24"x24" footprint, which means the interior of the stand is more like 22"x22". I believe the largest standard aquarium that would fit would be the 10g. I may have to go with a custom acrylic sump if I want anything with larger volume that will fit underneath. I'm not sure that I would have the clearance to run an HOB off of the 10g in the stand.
