It has the red dragon pump.

Thanks for your input!
Is the display 300 gallons or is that the total system volume. You say heavy fish load but a heavy fish load is around 1/2" per gallon or about 150" worth of fish in a 300 gallon display. If you are truly planning on having a "heavy" fish load, the the Mini Bubble King 200 is going to be marginal in terms of size. I'd suggest a Double Cone 250, Deluxe 200 or Supermarin 200 if that is the case but you could get away with the 200 though not ideal. If you load will be a lot lower than that or if your display size is closer to 250 gallons then the Mini 200 would be fine. They are great skimmers though. Especially when coupled with the RD3.
