Protein Skimmer for 165

[trhft22]

I am setting up a 165 gallon reef with a large amount of livestock and will be heavy bioload. I was looking at getting the RSK 900 Red sea Internal skimmer. The price on BRS is 579.00. Any better working skimmers or better prices? Open to any suggestions.

I have a LifeReef 24 on my 150. It is 13 years old, requires only cleaning weekly, easy to set up and adjust, cost is about $500. It takes a minimum 900 gph pump. I have Sicce Silent 4.0 which does a great job.
