Such Thing As Running To Big Of A Skimmer?

I don't believe you can overskim. Iodine would be depleted in all our systems, regardless OD skimmer size.

Perhaps, this just from experience personally knowing someone running an exceptionally large skimmer on an invert system and having high mortality issues. Dosing iodine seemed to fix the issue short term and removing the skimmer completely fixed it long term.
I definitely also had over-skimming issues before as well, there's probably a thread on it somewhere.

So if your saying having a skimmer rated for double system volume is bad for anything but FO why does everyone do it? The skimmer I have right now is double rated and I never had any issues with a SPS tank
