Those skimmers are awesome. I would've went with the 250, you can always go bigger.
Curious on why they talked you out of the 250? Is it because your tank size? Not much price difference.

Most of the higher end skimmers will reccomend that you buy the appropriate sized skimmer for your system and not to oversize

Tank was only a 150 i was running a 250 and hardly getting skim mate. They say over skimming will start to pull elements out of the tank.

I guess it makes sense, the 200 is rated for up to 400 gallons, that should be plenty enough for a 150, even if you decide to load up your tank with lots of fish and sps. I think the only reason I always go bigger is so that if I need to up-grade, I will always be ready. I think I need a 300.
