You could put a skimmer in the refugium section, but you wold probably have to have a very skinny skimmer and you would probably have to set it up on a platform of some kind so the water level in the skimmer was ideal.
You could put a skimmer in the last chamber to the right, however that chamber also has to contain the return pump the water level is not going to remain constant if the return pump or drains vary at all.
Personally I would think that the best way to use a skimmer with this sump would be to use an external skimmer and feed it off of a manifold fed by the return pump or a dedicated 2nd pump in the return chamber. You would need to pipe the return from the skimmer back in to one of the chambers, I would go for the drain chamber as the filter sock and the multiple wears will help with any micro bubbles.

From the instruction manual it looks like you can put one either chamber 2 to which is the middle or chamber 3 which is the end depending on how you have it setup they of course recommended the Coralife super skimmer 65 their own model
