Help I’m thinking about buying a protein skimmer for my 55 gallon tank. I have a sump and I did all the measurements for the skimmer it would fit tight with enough space for the pump to function, and collection cup to be cleaned. but I’m wondering if it’s too much for a 55 gallon tank or if I’m spot on?

The the protein skimmer I was thinking is the Octopus Classic 110INT Protein Skimmer


The sump I have is The NUVO RFS 23 Sump

I run that skimmer on my 60 gallon cube and my 75 gallon tank and it is perfect for that size.
