Such Thing As Running To Big Of A Skimmer?

[rastaangel]

Well I think I am gonna email the manufacture to see what they say about what I should run with what I have planned.
And being as tho I plan to run the tank near osmotic until I have all the fish in there there wont be any inverts in it... 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

I decided to check the manufacture of my skimmer's website. If you scroll to the bottom, they have bioload ratings.

This is the 230

This is the one I use:

My memory was off with regards to the specs for mine, and as the 230 is rated differently from mine, my previous assumption was clearly in error.

Sadly . . . No. Hopefully the manufacturer can provide you a better idea as to the skimmer's ability.

Ya I sent coralvue a email giving them the situation outline and asking if they suggest a SRO-3000 rated for 300g or a SRO-5000 rated for 500g.

E-mail recieved from corelvue:
You will appreciate the performance of the 3000 on that size tank with a large bioload. It will help keep your parameters in check and consistent performance.
So SRO-3000 it is!
