with the two tanks and allowing for the live rock you are probably talking about 120 gallons so I would think a v2 600 --up to 130 gallons or 800--up to 180 UK gallons would be fine for you ,pumps a bit bulky but you wont see it in the sump, alternatively you could go for the aqua medic 1000 turboflotor multi--125to 250 uk gallons all very good skimmers at a reasonable prices alternatively you can go for the big names - big price to match ( don't know your finances lol.) I have used both these brands and find them excellent .
