I was reading a thread earlier regarding skimmers and one of the posts mentioned sizing. So it peaked my curiosity; can a skimmer really be too large for the tank? If so, what happens? Physically, it could obviously be too large but if it fits, has an appropriate water level, and can otherwise function properly for the body of water it's intended to skim, will it perform just like any other skimmer?
Based on other things I've read, they can only pull approx 30% of DOC regardless; does the larger skimmer remove it faster? If so, what happens when it reaches that point (i.e. does it stop skimming for a period)?
