Can anyone recommend a skimmer for a 200 gallon reef?

Budget? Total water volume? Type of reef, ie: SPS or soft corals? Heavy or light bioload?

Nah you need more then a G3. I wouldn't put a G3 on anything bigger than a 135.

Depending on your budget a MSX250, ReeFlo Orca 200, Mini Bubble King 200.

It will be a mixed reef with high bio load.

It's my understanding that the reputation on volcano's has changed. The customer service that follows them isn't that good anymore. I have seen a couple lately taken down, sold, and replaced with reeflo pro's, bubble kings, atb's etc... all because they couldn't get someone to help them with their problems with their skimmers.
