Its that the way it works though...if i get one rated formuch larger than my tank will it do a much better job or is that overly simplistic.

if you can afford it go bigger and better no upgrade later i have a skimmer rated for 200+gal on a 110G i was curious if it was too much but have been informed by the majority to get as big a skimmer i can fit and afford mine takes out twice as much as my old one did i have a vertex in-180

there is a thread on here about over skimming but its pretty back and forth depending on your livestock

its good so far i bought mine second hand from another reefer who downgraded i paid only a fraction of the cost brand new and its big enough to handle any upgrade i may make in the future. keep it simple and get a skimmer rated for more than your total gallons(including sump etc.)post a want ad on here and i guarantee youll find a good second hand one on here for cheap make sure the skimmer will fit in your sump and with in your plumbing
