i suppose you could take out the bioball section and use that as a fuge, put a light over it add some sand and rubble live rock and some macro algae. Im not an expert but why not.
also you could hang the skimmer on your sump and open up that area as well to refuge

I would add small rocks where the water dumps in, may add a filter sock to the hose to catch garbage. Also may put some eggcrate in there for your cotton pad. Take out the bio-balls put the skimmer there add sand to the sump add light. Good Luck hope this gives you an ideal or someone else can add to this.
edit:I just noticed if you can hang your skimmer on the back do that and still get rid of the bio-balls and replace that with sump rock.

You might want to look into an in-tank refugium. It's basically an acrylic box with suction cups and holes in the sides and a small powerhead to circulate the water. I think the smaller one that they sell is 7" x 4" x 7". Just put it in the sump if you have room.
