I think you might be overthinking it. The goal, IMO, is to run a successful reef tank without all the gadgets.

ditch the biocube skimmer get a sapphire aquatics BC14 which fits in the middle chamber

get the nano reactor for the GFO which will fit in the 1rst or 3rd chamber

gut and stick some purapad into the stock biocube filter

if you still have filtration issues get a bigger tank
