Protein skimmer for 225 gallon
I'm setting up a 225 gallon fish only tank. I got a wet dry filter and would like a protein skimmer in it, any recommendations for brand/size? Was looking at the reef octopus 8" for 250 gallons. But found a cheaper one that's called Sea Side Aquatics model EV6 for 250 gallons. Or is there a better one I don't know about?

Thanks everyone! I decided to go with the Simplicity 540DC protein skimmer, it's rated for a heavy bio load for up to 250 gallons, so it'd be good for my puffer and large angel I'm gonna get

What measurement requirements do you have?
Width and length in sump? Height under stand, sump room, basement, etc? Budget? What do you plan to keep? Types of corals? Types of fish? Lots of them?
