Bullet 1 or Tunze 9010

[Quagmire]

You will need a high pressure pump to run the bullet,and it will be noisy. The Tunze will be more energy efficient.

Talk to Doug he has the tunze model and thinks it runs alot better in the tank then in the sump something to think about...

Tunze for sure but i would go for the biggest unit

I've got the tunze,

Absolutely love it. It skims better for me in the sump than it did in the tank, but I think Doug is having the opposite experience with his. Mine skimmed fine in the tank as well, just does better in sump for me! Very small foot print, when I had it in the tank I actually never noticed it, very quiet, very energy efficient. If you look at the tunze website, they give you a bit of a guide as to how they rate their skimmers... the 240 gallons is for a softy tank, I believe they say if you want sps than take 60% of the rated capacity and that's the new rating... but double check on that at their website.
