For heavy bio load a better skimmer is a must IMHO. I got a csc-150. Same price as an omega and I think it performs as good or better in a smaller footprint. Plus massive collection cup.
Spend the extra $180 and get a better suited skimmer to your long term plan of heavy bioload. Side note. Have been told bubble magus skimmers take a very long time to break in.

Well some people don't have the extra money to blow on a more expensive skimmer, so people should truely stop recommending skimmers double the price of the OP's budget.
For your $200 budget... go with the Curve 5. I had a Curve 7, and it did not take long to break in after a vinegar soak, and it pulled lots of goop out right away. It was also almost dead silent, contrary to other posters comments... who I really don't think have ever owned a new Curve skimmer. Only reason I sold mine was because I upgraded to a larger tank. Otherwise it was a great skimmer for the money.
