Bubble King Supermarin 250 internal Protein Skimmer !!!
http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merch...ode=bubbleking The Supermarin 200 would work great too for a 120g.

I have a WM-AS300 and it does awesome on my 225G, all SPS. I wanted the bk, but couldn't afford the price tag. I'm told that the air draw is around 1800/2200 l/h
Not bad for about $1k |
