Such Thing As Running To Big Of A Skimmer?

[Coralgurl]

I've got the sro 5000 int running on my 180 plus 80 gl sump. I had started the same type of thread when I was looking for suggestions but not sure how to post the link here. There were great suggestions and feedback if you search for the thread. My tank has been set up since March this year so I don't have a huge bioload yet, but didn't want to be restricted down the road. I don't get consistent foaming, seems to build up then spill into cup but I do get over half a cup every week.

I would have preferred the 3000, but it wasn't available at the time. The biggest issue I have is the clearance between my sump and stand and the diameter of the body, I will have to drain my sump completely and push the sump out if the stand to get the skimmer out for any cleaning or maintenance.

Otherwise, I love this skimmer!!
