I can make a plan for you. HOB for 135g is pretty hard... thats an upper extreme for a HOB skimmer.
I would do a tall (6-12" taller than your tank), 6" diameter recirc skimmer... something that stands on the floor next to the tank, with the input for the skimmer at the top (counter current design), and then the standpipe coming back up to overflow back into the tank. You could use an oceanrunner 3700 needlewheel pump for about 20scfh on that diameter body at that height... a good amount... and with all that height... a very low turbulence as well by the time the bubbles reach the top.
