Curve A9 vs Curve 7 Making a decision

[GReef]

Hello everyone,

I need help,

I have a tank which is 100cmx50cmx50cm

66Gallon main display ( 250lt ) + 26 Gallon Sump ( 100lt )

Have high bioload with 6 clownfishes , 2 cardinals, 1 Algae Blenny, 3 Tangs, 1 Wrasse, 1 Damsel, and 1 Firefish.
I am feeding once in a day and 2 days giving frozen food.
Also have tons of LPS - Soft Corals.

The main question is that,
I am using a skimmer named CURVE A9 but it is very noisy. I want to replace it with a small CURVE 7.
Is Curve 7 enough for my tank or could you offer another model for me?

I run a curve 7 elite series on my 80G cube with 30G sump(roughly 90G total system volume), heavy bioload(9 fish and plenty of corals). It's plenty of skimmer for my needs.

I would look into the elite series in the curve line. It has a nice addition of a proven pump in a sicce.

Do you still like it? Feel like its too much at all?

Worth every penny. Still working like a champ, and is certainly not to large for my system.

Thank you! Considering one for my 65g tank, but was concerned it may be too big.

Will work great on a 65.

If anything I should have gone with the 9 for my bioload, but I also feel the 9 would have been too big and work very inconsistently.

Curve 7 is too much for 90 gal imo.

IMO means exactly that, your opinion. Myself that actually owns one, would whole heartedly disagree with you.

As I already said, I would have gone with the 9, but that would most certainly have been too big for my system.

They say 180 to 240G tank for the 7, I would completely disagree with that recommendation. I would say my 85G total water volume system with 10 fish(heavy bioload), it works perfectly well.
