Skimmer for Growout Tank

I'm currently breeding clowns & banggai, and would love to add a skimmer to my growout tank to help lessen maintenance!

Because I have limited space, I made an ''all-in-one'' tank for breeding.

It's a 30G custom tank that use to be a sump, I have part of it sectioned off to be 5G for the larvae stage..

Now that I'm up to 20-25G of water, and the fish are eating a lot more... I'm wondering what skimmer would be best.

There is no sump, and I'm hoping to avoid a lot of micro bubbles and constant adjustments to the skimmer. I also hand bomb FW into the tank for evaporation about once a day, 500ml of water? So I'm hoping that won't mess with the skimmers operation and require adjusting.

I'm looking at the tunze 9002, but have read it puts out a lot of micro bubbles into the water from the bottom part of the skimmer.

For available space, I'd like a skimmer that sits IN TANK.. but I do have some space on the outside, but very limited.

Please give me some suggestions to look into!
 
Also looking at Reef Octopus BH1000 & BH2000. Although curious about the intake portion. Would it be needing a sponge filter on it so it does not suck up little baby clowns?
 
So you think for a really heavily stocked 30G tank (clownfish between 1 month and 3 months) these 2 would do the trick? I like the looks of the aquamaxx much more!
