Seeing as you are in Canada look into saltwaterconnection.com . The SWC extreme line are great skimmers and under what you are looking to spend but can easily handle the tank. I have a SWC 250 extreme on my 170 and couldn't be happier.A 200/250 extreme would be perfect.( On the second page Not to be confused with the 250a skimmer)



5 days worth of skimmate.
