Need protein skimmer suggestions for 180

Well we really need to get a new skimmer and I've been shopping around.

Current fish.
Blue tang ~5-6"
Naso tang ~6"
Trigger ~4-5"
Porcupine puffer ~6"
Zebra moray ~2' ft

We measured our sump area and its only ~9.5"x15" or so. Which doesn't give us much room to work with.

We were looking at the reef octopus skimmers because they seem to be the most recommended. The Sro 2000 looks to be the right footprint but I'm not sure its really big enough to handle our tank.

We could do an external unit but Id much rather have it in the sump (scared of leaks)
But it is an option if we have to go that route.
At the moment we have two bulkheads on the sump for two velocity t3's
We could swap the pumps for one larger pump and run the skimmer on the other bulkhead (again this is a last resort)

Any recomendations on a decent COST EFFECTIVE skimmer? Honostly it looks like we'll be paying half of what we paid for the complete tank/setup as we will be for the skimmer! Lol

Thanks in advanced.
