It is an internal skimmer and is rated for a 200 gal tank. Good luck

Sorry I thought it said "pump" size.
A lot depends on how much livestock your going to put in your 200g.
Go with as big as you can squeeze into your sump. Defiantly want it rated larger than your tank. You can always pick up a larger tank or change the baffles in existing one.
