I'm very happy with my 200. Others may have comments about cone vs. cylinder, but my opinion is that the Sicce pump is much better than the Atman, especially if you use the mesh wheel (which requires more maintenance).
I am running a light to moderately stocked 180 gal with this skimmer and it keeps up nicely, but I suspect it is right at the limit. Make sure you have enough room for the 200. I was not quite ready for how big it was. It's a pretty tight fit into my sump.
