I'm planning out a roughly 300g system, 220g tank - 30g remote fuge - 50g ish sump, and I'm currently trying to decide between the skimmers below.
I know generally larger is better and I plan on running a pretty heavy bioload but I've also ran into problems from tanks that were too clean. I'd like to be able to naturally balance my nitrates in the 5-15 range and know that overskimming could possibly keep me from that.
