Default sump-less skimmer

Hi There. I am new to this site and need some help please. I have a 90 gal. corner, (1/4 cylinder), tank with stand. Up and running for 2 months (75lbs. crushed coral, 150 lbs. live rock, Coral Beauty Angel, Pajama Cardinalfish, Foxface, Scarlet Skunk cleaner shrimp, snails, hermits, mushrooms and a few softies). I would like to slowly add more fish, corals, etc. Water parameters right now are good, but I should have a skimmer for the extra load. The problem is the stand has a central support divider that leaves 2 small triangular spaces that are too small for a sump. The tank fits quite tight to the wall and looks funny if pulled away from the wall, therefore a hang-on skimmer won't work. My question is this: D & D Marine Enterprises makes a sump-less kit for their Terminator II skimmer. The kit functions like a canister filter. Is anybody out there familiar with this set-up? I'd like some advice before I go shelling out the money for this unit. Really appreciate any help.
