A skimmer requires different pump that a return. The pumps depend on the type of skimmer.
I used an ETSS 800 on my 125 and it worked great, but I changed to a reef octopus extreme 300. The downdraft skimmers (ETSS) are really strong, but the water has to go either straight or down from the outlet. You will need a large stand and either a large sump or drill your sump.
I recommend octopus skimmers. I've heard ASM are good too.
note to yourself:
Always buy a skimmer that's like the minimum gallons is higher than your tank. For example the ETSS is rated for 180-400 gallons. It'll make your water super clear and there won't be any algae (not including coraline)
