Such Thing As Running To Big Of A Skimmer?

And even then I prob would have over 2 dozen fish once I cross every angelfish off my list and I know its gonna take some time to get the cash funds and find a healthy conspicious angelfish

FYI I had six large (each was 6-8") angelfish in my 230g and there was barely enough room in the tank for the six of them. Highly doubt 12 would be happy in a 180g, simply not enough room for them to have their own territory. Unless the plan is to way over crowd them.

I think if you are feeding heavily and have a large bio-load a skimmer rated for way larger of a tank is a better way to go. I have two largeish skimmers running on my system and could use another.
