Need help picking a skimmer, odd application


Got a acrylic tank off a friend, he really let it go so im going to try and get it back up to par, he had never ran a protein skimmer on the tank, the tank has an over flow and built in refugium in the back, there is no way to hang a skimmer on and there is no sump, is there a skimmer i can run in line? there is a bulkhead on each side of the tank, ive never had a tank without a sump so ive always had in sump skimmers so thats why im a little lost on doing one in line

here is a pic of the tank

The good news...there IS a way to plumb a skimmer in line. Theres ALWAYs a way. The bad news...is that I dont have an answer to your question.
