Thanks
Definitely not the SM250. I run that on a 500 gallon display with over 70 fish in it. Many are large tangs. I’d suggest either a SM200 or Deluxe 200. These skimmers are conservatively rated. If you truly had a heavy load, possibly the Deluxe 250 but what you’re describing doesn’t sound like a very heavy load for a 220 sized display and you would likely experience inconsistency with a 250. Especially with the SM250 which needs a heavier load than the Deluxe due to it’s design.
