Via Aqua In sump skimmer------

[spinx]

Hi guys im looking for a skimmer for my 1.2 meter setup (300 liters). I payed a visit to my lfs and he could offer me a via aqua in sump or a weipro hang on.
The via aqua works out a bit cheaper and comes to a really good price.
Has anyone had some sort of experience with these skimmers. Another quick one on lighting-- I decided to invest in a T5 lighting system- 4 times 28 watt.
Would this be sufficient lighting? The other option would be going for halide, but thats like 3 times more expensive. Please help

For what exactly, what do you plan to keep?

Haven't even heard of the skimmers you mentioned till' now.

I never used their skimmers but I do own a ViaAqua Pump and its alot cheaper then its competitors and runs just fine.
