Skimmer and heaters for 220g

[Betex]

Hey all just a quick question I will be placing my order for my new tank and it will be 200-220g with about a 45-55g sump. Trying to find out which skimmer and heaters I should be looking at with all the sales going on. Eyeing the 220-sss but reading it goes up to 180 heavy load. This will be sps dominant and do plan on fully stocking it is this an appropriate skimmer or should I be looking at something bigger as I don’t want to go too much under.

Personally I would go with a bigger skimmer. For heaters I don't have any experience with the BRS heaters. I am running 2 300 watt jager heaters in my 190 gallon system and I have them staggered and the second one doesn't run very much at all so I would expect that should be sufficient. In the winter our home gets down to the low 60s and I have not had a problem at all with the tank holding 78.

Here is my heater usage over the past week and the tank temps.

It's what I was thinking as well but seems like theres some gaps between 150-200g tanks from the 220 it jumps to

So still trying to figure out which size fits best without going way big

This one seems like a good fit - assuming will fit in sump. I have always erred on slightly bigger side on my tanks and then can stock as I want without worrying about the skimmer.
