I just built the same tank and run an ATB 840 and love it. A reef octopus xp 2000 or SRO 2000 would do a good job as well and will be cheaper then the ATB.

get a biggger sump

what does this have to do with o.p question? I can say the Sro line is fantastic. I run an sro 3000ext on a system with almost 300 gallons and id does a great job. Best skimmer I have ever owned.

Im currently running a Bubble magus cs180 for the same size tank. Works very well. I used to have an atb 840 in another 120g a few years back and it also work well. I honestly cant tell the difference in the skimmate production between the skimmers.

Currently running an sro 3000 in my 80 gallon sps dominant reef with about 10 fish, it's amazing the crap it pulls out
