9010 on a 225

Howdy!

I'm upgrading from a 75 to a 225 (yay leaking tank!) and am wondering if my 9010 will be enough skimmer. I know it's listed as good for up to 264 but...

It will be mixed reef, mostly lps/softies/inverts but with some easy sps. The fish list is a bit short right now (8 total) but I'm sure will grow.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Robb

For a mixed reef tank we rate the skimmer at 60% of the stated rating which is basically for a FOWLR. It would handle a 158 based on that deduction. I don't think it is enough, I would say the 9415 is the best bet.
