It's rated for up to 700g lightly stocked. However it's rated for 400g heavily stocked (which of course my set up is). We bought it for the new tank however it should be enough for both tanks (once it's all plumbed together) so we'll see how it goes.

Laurie its says that its rated for 4-500 gal ... what type of pump is on that one not the Sicce 2500 is it or is it a different pump. how tall is it too and wide , jsut seems that a skimmer like that is rated for that much weird maybe the cone is the way to go now something so simple and its going to pull that much more

Looks like I should of waited to buy it (I was told it wasn't going on sale when I bought it a week or so ago) but it seems to have dropped in price by about $300.00

Thanks for the info, I guess it wouldn't hurt to give them a call and try.
