The G-3 is borderline even after heavy mods, The G-4 pump is too small and will need a larger replacement pump to work properly.
The G-4+ is the same body as the G-4 but comes with the larger pump, will do fairly well for your 210 if not heavily stocked.
The G4X uses same pump as the + model but is taller, this is your best choice for your tank if you want to choose ASM.
The build quality is not worth what you pay for the ASM skimmers anymore, seems as they gained recognition the price went up. They still work well but you can find similar sized skimmers for the same money if not cheaper that are built much better by looking at other manufactures.
Make sure you look into the supplied pumps as this is the heart and soul of the skimmer once you decide what body size you need.
