The typhoon is a hang on tank skimmer, so just hang it on the outside of your tank with the pump in the tank. I don't know how it compares to a Coralife SuperSkimmer since I never used a typhoon to compare them, but you can get a better skimmer than the CSS for about the same cost. Look into Octopus skimmers. They are priced similar to the CSS but perform much, much better.
