Curious if anyone could make a few recommendations for a good skimmer that would do a 210 gallon tank and a return pump.

I am using an ASM G4X on my 210 but there are better skimmers available now. If I were buying a new skimmer I think I would go with a conical skimmer that recirculates. I would stay away from beckett style skimmers as they are not very cost effective when it comes to electricity. I would also try to find a skimmer that is rated for about twice the size of your tank.

As far as the return pump do you want an insump or external pump. I have an Ehiem 1260 and it works good for me and is really quiet. I think it can be run submerged or plumbed.

Never mind on the return I have an external here at the house that works rated for 750 gph.
