Best Skimmer for small space??

I have a 120 gallon main display tank. The current sump only has 4 inches by 7 inches and sits in a Rubbermaid container. I have 11 inches by 9 inches of space on the end of the Rubbermaid container, so I'm going to set up my skimmer there. I see all sorts of threads about good skimmers but all I've researched are too big for my 11 by 9 space.

Lots of equipment left over from the 140 gallon tank teardown. Oct 21st was a sad day. Wife said I would have to get a new wife to get a new tank. I'm sure gonna miss the wife.

Current Tank Info: No tank, no fish, no coral :(
