Doubt if you will have enough space to fit a skimmer in that section. Or be able to easily remove the cup for maintenance. Suggest you get your skimmer before you commit to the design.

The design for your algae scrubber? What do you have in mind? Remember you need light to shine on it, but you do not want the light to penetrate your skimmer body.

While ill make the a/s in an angle and out of black plastic so it could hide the skimmer but in a way so i can clean the skimmer...

The reason i want to put the skimmer there because the tank is on my stoop and my yard is basicaly half a meter away so i can put a pipe on the skimmer lid drain and put it into my yard. To minimize the amount i have to clean my lid

Normal box corner overflow... Simplest. Just ensure you can get your hand down it, or those long tongs to be able to take out that one wandering hermit...
