If you are OK with a big pump for the skimmer then use it. They do work well. Don't change it. As far as the pumps in storage you have to check what the generator can do & what you plan on running before the tank is included. Do you have enough juice?
VHO or an LED strip-- Do they still have the VHO bulbs? This will help you answer those questions.
