The 5000 is a really big skimmer for that water volume. Just my two cents but im thinking you will have trouble keeping a steady foam hight without adding a crazy bioload. They are great shimmers im running a xp5000 cone ext on 500gals.

I have to agree with raven. The 5000 will be almost too much for your sump. My friend has the 5000 on his 250g and is running a 110g sump and he even says it's a little overkill with his setup.

I did question if it was going to be too much and was assured it would be ok. I've got it running and while I know it's breaking in it seems ok. I wanted the 3000 and probably should have searched a bit harder. Guess I just have to see how it goes. It's already pulling stuff out but I can see it needs adjusting.
