Skimmer Advice - AquaC Urchin Pro

I'm in the planning stages of beginning a reef tank and wondering if anyone has experience regarding the AquaC Urchin Pro. It looks ALOT different than the skimmers I am used to seeing but its compact design is appealing. Also rated a pretty high efficiency skimmer in comparison with others on an online store I am using to get my cost parameters set.

Tank is a 55 tall and planning on a 20 gallon sump. Unfortunately its tempered glass and can't be drilled so I'll be using an overflow, not sure if that affects anything.

Also - does the return pump that is being planned for the system have any affect on choice - meaning if I'm planning on a 500g/hr return pump does that mean the protein skimmer must also match this capacity?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and help!
 
Ya it would be borderline if it was powerful enough for that size tank. Aquac 120, asm g2 or 3, octopus 150, euroreef 6-1 would all do a bit better imo
