Display is a 156 and sump holds 35 gal. including fuge and return portion. Only have 13.5x14.5 to hold the skimmer.

A grand is hard to swing but want something that does a great job.

I was looking at the MSX 200. Looks pretty nice for the price. Would the Vertex IN-250 be a better choice?

What about a used Bubble Master 200 for $300? So many different choices.

The MSX 200 is a great skimmer. I fear that it would be a tad bit too small on that tank. I have one on my 90g and I feel it is just right (not too much not too little).

Get yourself an i-Tech skimmer.
