    That's easy as P.V.C.! :D ...and a glass holes overflow kit. I just had to make it rhyme. lol:p

    1" PVC from lowe's and an overflow kit can be had, here:

    I'd go with the 700gph.

    I'd go with a sump/fuge combo. Skimmer at left, fuge at right, return in the middle. Remember the baffles b/w the skimmer & return section.

    A 20g long for the sump tank. Maybe a 29g with you want more room for emergencies...either way, only fill half of the sump(height) with water.
