Why not do a DIY hang on refugium/sump? You could make an overflow that is perforated at the top with a small pump at the bottom, maybe silicone it in the corner of the 5gl, have it pump to the hang on back and return via bulkhead, that way you will have more room in the tank and can keep the skimmer, heater, etc in the hang on. You could make it almost any depth so there is lots of room and even make it many chambered for all the equipment/refugium.
