Bio Load

So far i have
1- cleaner shrimp
1- fire shrimp
1 coral banded shrimp
1- yellow tang
1 blue hippo tang
1- orchid dotteyback
1- clarkii clownfish
2- percs clownfish
1- bi color blenny
1- orange diamond watchman goby
2- sand sifting star fish
1- mexican turbo snail
3- green/blue chromis
about 30 hermit crabs

I have xenia, mushrooms, a long ten anemone, button polyp, coral, and a colt coral.

Would this be considered a light/med bio load for a 165. I am having problems with my skimmer (again) i think if this is the case that i have a light bio load for a ER rs180. i feed like every other day.

The skimmer is foaming but it just not pulling anything out like ASM would....

i would consider it a light bio-load but you should be skimming something, how old is the skimmer?
