If it is at possible add a sump and get an in sump skimmer. you can use an old smaller tank as a sump and install a HOB over flow. IMO the hang on skimmers are not that great and a sump allows you to hide equipment and adds water volume.
 
AquaC EV-120 Protein Skimmer with Mag-Drive 5 Pump. This one goes under the tank, can i just run an inlet hose and a outlet hose or is there more to it?

The revolutionary AquaC protein skimmers do not use venturis, downdraft tubes, or air pumps; they employ the patented "Spray Induction System." This innovation allows the protein skimmer to efficiently draw in much more air than any other of the top protein skimmers. This coupled with the superiorly designed compact reaction chamber yields results that will literally blow the waste out of your water.


The redesigned and improved EV Series skimmers raise AquaC`s spray injection skimming (U.S. Patent # 6,156,209) to a new level in terms of efficiency, performance, and value. A new baffling system combined with a significantly larger mixing box results in far less turbulence and increased contact time. The net effect is a dramatic increase in skimmer performance despite a drop in pump pressure requirements. AquaC`s molded spray injector now generates a significantly larger number of microbubbles, boosting overall performance to unbelievable levels considering such low pump pressure requirement.
 
I have used a hang on skimmer once and didnt have very good luck with it. Take a look at this thread, Octupus skimmers have good reviews.

IMO i would purchase an overflow box like this one:

Then you can place a small 30-40 gal tank under your stand and add a skimmer. You might want to try an octopus, many people use them, a great skimmer for the cost. Look at this link.
