New Skimmer?

[Deezill]

Morning guys, I am wondering if it is time for a new skimmer. Let me know your opinion. I used to clean my skimmer every Saturday on my 150 but now on my 240-gallon system, I have to clean it twice a week because it pulls so much gunk. Once a week not cutting it. Is this a sign I need a new skimmer? My skimmer is listed below.

This model skimmer has been discontinued. I hesitate on buying a new one because this one still works great. I just need to clean it multiple times a week. I like to make sure it's effective. Here is a list of the fish I keep (Below). I feed twice a day. A mix of frozen and pellets and flake. I switch it up so it's not the same every day. Pellets are on auto feeder.

3 Tangs Hippo, Sailfin, Yellow (They are the biggest in tank)
4 green Chromis (average sizes)
2 Clown fish (regular full grown size)
2 Pajama Cardinal (full grown)
9 talbot damsels (small)
2 Azure Damsels (Small)

Thanks. And please excuse any mis-spelled words.

Sounds like you have a large bio load and can use a larger unit.
As-2 cone unit would do well

I would just get a skimmate. locker and self cleaning head. RO sells both, Black Friday sell if you can wait.
