I like the Reef Octopus line of skimmers. The sro xp5000 could handle the tank depending on how heavy you plan to stock. Is it going to be internal or external? The xp8000 would definitely handle the tank but it might be overkill. Try asking this question in the "large reef tank forum" for better responses from the guys with the big tanks.

That volume is closer to 500 gallons
