You should look at what water depth it best works at. I use a Bubble Magnus Curve 5 in my 350 and it works fine. My only knock on it is I'd like a bigger skimmer cup.

I think it would be too big. You are better off with the 120 model. When you oversize skimmers they will not skim consistently I have experienced this and had to sell the skimmer at a loss. Simplicity 240 is also another good option with a DC controllable pump at the same price.
