Suitable skimmer recommendation needed

[Fishyfish]

Dear reefers,

Need your advise on a suitable skimmer to upgrade to. Am currently only using an inexpensive Weipro ($65) venturi skimmer hooked up to an ozonizer.

Am keeping mix reef 50% SPS / 50% LPS

Some system specs:

1 main tank + 1 sump tank + 1 refugium (same system)

About 245 US gallons of system water before deducting water displacemnt by LR

Main tank is bare bottom

Refugium has a mix of Natures Ocean sugar sized sand and Kent Marine Sediment

24/7 use of carbon, phosphate and nitrate removing media

Dupla CR

UV Sterilizer

Ozonizer

What kind of skimmer capacity do I have to look at? Any recommendations on a brand and place to get it? Heard that Beckett skimmers are good but am a bit shaken that an average one costs around $1,000 (aquabee driven)

Any advise from fellow reefers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

To the point... what's your max budget and we can then look closer at the many options available.

What can I get for say $700 - $800 with a pump?

Thanks!
