The ratings are definitely conservative and I woudn't suggest oversizing the skimmer if you want the best consistency. If you chose the SM200, you would want a truly heavy load for best performance. Heaving meaning upwards of 1/2" of fish per gallon of display volume. A Double Cone 200 would be very well suited though with a meadium load. If you are planning on a much heavier load than you currently have and are going to be adding larger fish, then SM200 would work well too.
