1st, id measure the inside of you tanks stand to see what can fit. Keep in in that you’ll wanna have full access to the sump and equipment inside of it for maintenance purposes. So for ex. if you can't easily get to the back of the sump, lets say to pull out your skimmer for service, you may...
Not necessarily, you could use a second pump to deal with the extra items. Note that extra equipment is not mandatory to run a successful reef tank.
But if your going for simplicity, just plumb your overflow to your sump, run a skimmer and some chaeto in your center chamber, if space allows for it
You can use tubing if that’s what you can afford to do but I would suggest getting braided tubing. Regular vinyl can kink and cause issues.
PVC will work too, just a matter of preference. Just remember to add unions and valves for when you dissemble for maintenance or add on-s
Both are good skimmers and should work for you set up. I think it would just come down to budget.
There are less expensive units out there that can be just as effective. @MarineDepot has a bubble Magnus on sale and it should work great on your system...
