Modern skimmers do NOT need to be oversized. In fact, many skimmers will perform poorly when oversized to your system. A lot of the newer skimmers sport a wide neck feature. These wide necks require a MINIMUM bioload in order to produce a stable foam head. Oversize and you'll just have an overpriced water aerator.
