Protein skimmer help!

[nyfynest22]

Hey everyone im setting up a 220 gallone tank expecting a heavy bio load, dont want to be limited to what i have in the tank, whats everyone running on there 220? Not looking to break the bank but would like something that is good, i had a 250 vertex wich was outstanding, but i felt it wasnt enough for a 220, what do you guys think i should get?

skimmer

that one is incredible. when i was setting up my 215 i was so broke i got the coralife super skimmer. nowhere near that thing but it skims. i had to stay on top of it for a while but i get a lot of skimate. if price is a major concern, that is what i did. i will probably be upgrading very soon.

What kind of budget are we looking at and how much space is available? Or would you prefer an external skimmer?
