I think you're asking if that skimmer would work?

If so, I think it should since you will also have other methods of nutrient removal.

so either one would be good?
Sorry, I think I missread it.

I think your 150 would be fine for now if you are going to take that system down. If buying new, I would go with the 220. Better to buy oversized and not need it than to go small and regret it imo.
