I’m having a mental breakdown over here.
I am trying to pick a skimmer. I’m vacillating between Simplicity 320 and 540 models. I have room for either. I’d guess my bioload will be medium-high with an emphasis on “low” for the first few months here as things get back to normal.
My tank is 200g with a 100g sump and a 40g refugium. I use filter socks which I change weekly. Brain says get 540 but internet says that “too big” is now a thing and a little undersized is better.
I don’t have a budget per se but this has been a big build and less is more right now. I’ve been cycling the sump and refugium while I wait for the tank to arrive and it would be great to have the skimmer in place and broken in before the tank arrived.
Someone tell me what to do!!
