Not necessarily. If you go TOO BIG you will strip everything out of the water. Like using too much GFO for example.

Ya I get that's possible but I have what some would consider a huge bioload, thus wondering if for my system bigger would be better?
1 Japanese Dragon Eel

1 broomtail wrasse
3 tangs
2 clowns
1 damsel
1 grouper
1 Harlequin Tusk
1 squirrel fish
