Oversizing for large upgrade

[Iptuous]

So, im in an apartment now, and have a tiny pico. A spec v 5 gallon.
When I move into a house in about a year, ill want to upgrade to around 100 gallon probably. Is there any reason it would be ill advised to aquire and use a substantially oversized sump for a pico? What about any filtration equipment? Can a larger skimmer be regulated down with lower flow for a tiny tank? Etc...

I am currently running a Reef Octopus 152s which is rated for up to 200g on a 75g with no ill effects. Since it only removes dissolved organic compounds I cant see any way it could hurt your tank. It will def increase its oxygen levels :) The only downside I can see may be the large amount of microbubbles that it can produce in your DT.

Not really a problem. Increases your system volume which increases stability. I'm running my old reef octopus extreme xs200 on my 29 while I'm doing my 180 build.

Sweet. Time to start researching sumps, then. :)
