You have a recommendation on a different skimmer that is under $300

I have been using the 110int classic for 2 years on my reefer 250. Works great and have no problems. I am upgrading to a regal 150sss for my new tank but then 110 is why I stayed in the reef octopus family just wanted DC and a little more room in the sump.

What's your total volume of water and estimated bio load? Your gonna stock heavy or lightly and mostly coral?
The bubble magus line makes a Z skimmer and is really space saving.

I'm gonna recommend a aquavitro salinity 250. Get the 2nd pump kit and make it recirculating. The water feed pump will need to be 1-1.5x the volume of your water.
