Not really. Depends on your stocking level.

it will only skim out the available stuff in the water to be skimmed. I dont really think there is such a thing as "overkill" on a skimmer. Except maybe overkill on the wallet.
Just think of it as an incentive to upgrade tank size in the future. |

^^ Second the opinion above. No skimmer too large.
