My Precision Marine Bullet 3 almost gave me a boner when i fired it up for the first time.... and it can handle anything i could throw at it in a 155 with 125 gallon sump... maybe one of the smaller bullets, or the 3 with a smaller pump than the 250PS i am using would be better depending on height clearances under your stand

what kind of stocking?

Price range? Internal or external? Any height or foot print size requirements? These are kind of important to recommend a good skimmer for you

Well you may be interested in a MSX, Octopus, Bubble King, ATI or the sequence. They range from about $400-$4,000 for that sized tank

I'm running an MSX250 on a similar sized set up and really like it. Still learning it's twists and adjustments over running a huge external skimmer for many years, but all and all I love it.

Yeah, I think the only ones missing from the above post are H&S and My Reef Creations. Height of the stand is also important. One you have your specifics for footprint, headroom, and budget, check out the large tank forum and the equipment forum for help. A 220gallon mixed reef really isnt a new to the hobby discussion.
