All we care about is skimming DOC (Desolved Organic Carbon) and that what Tunze does. It looks like not much because there is no particulate in skimmate , but that is not something one whants to skimm, you can have any cloth filter to get rid of particulate and marine snow if you wish. or leave it in the tank if you have filter feeders. I know many reefers who in the hobby for more then 18 years in some cases and they all run Tunze 230/3 or 240/3 in their tanks.When i set up my next tank Tunze 9020 is the skimmer for me.
Gallons do not produce waiste , animals do. If one has heavy loaded tank, then skimming capacity has to be increased by 60% from rated size, aspecialy with deep sand bed as it takes a lot of Oxygen out of water.
My opinion only there can be others
,
Good luck reefing
