Hi,

Two Hippo tangs, two clowns and three gobies is pretty high for a Prism. So, I think you'll find that it is marginal and highly dependent on if you feed the fish/coral lightly or very heavily.

One test you can try is to run both your skimmers on the same tank (the old CC and the new one)...does the combined output of the skimmers equal, less or more than the new skimmer. If it is equal...then you are skimming fairly efficiently. If the combined is higher...then your skimmer is too small and you'll need to figure out a way to remove more nutrients.

A good example of a skimmer that could handle the load better is a PM HOT-1. The key difference is the air/water reaction chamber size.
