Is you intention to have a very heavy bioload?

with heavy biolad: the reefoctopus SRO 1000

Without: the reefoctopus XS200

IMO

I have had other skimmers in the past. So far Reef Octopus blows them all away so all you have to do is make sure you have one big enough for the load you will have in your tank.

I think you'd be borderline with the Diablo 160 on capacity.

I'd suggest a Skimz sk181. It would be perfect for that size tank. It's very quiet, very efficient, and easy to set. It also has a very small footprint due to the bottom exit and unique gate valve.

There is one for sale on the equipment forum for $275.

the octo xs 200 is a good value for your setup. the Aquamaxx am 250, the Sro 2000, and jns sk2 would all be really nice as well.

I probaly overdid it but I bought a RO SRO 3000 for my 135 and I have I consider a medium bioload I empty about 1/2 cup 1x a week. I had a EuroReef CS6-2 did a good job but was time to upgrade
