Skimmer suggestion 180 gallon volume.

[matty0206]

I am the proud new owner of a 150g tank, the sump will hold appx 30g so about 180g total volume. I currently am running an Rlss R6I on my 40 breeder turned way down and am wondering if this skimmer will be sufficient for my new tank? I am guessing not since the top recommended size is 150 gallons.
If not what internal skimmer would you suggest for this tank? I will probably have a large bio load but for now will be no SPS.
Price would probably need to be $600 and under.

Thanks!

I have a Super Reef Octopus 3000i on my 150G + 65G for the sump and settling tank. I bought it when I had a total volume of only 120G but I am still using it on my larger tank. It works great. I bought it on the recommendation of futuredoc on another site and have never regretted it. Here is the cheapest price for it Super Reef Octopus 3000 8 in. In Sump Skimmer
