They are very nice skimmers and if you use a true pressure rated pump they kick arse.
I do think that you have too much water volume for the 600 though and they would be the first to tell you that. good luck http://www.superskimmer.com/tank%20f...on%20guide.htm

I would follow their chart. How heavily stocked are you and what pump do you plan on using? You can also give them a buzz they are very helpful over the phone as well.

ehhh... you could be ok with the large fuge. A mak30 or 40 throttled back would be fine with that skimmer. How good is the deal?? If you or anyone you know is handy with acrylic you could turn that into a 900 for about $7

I would agree. The ETSS 600 is a great skimmer. I loved it on my 140G but I think it is undersized for your setup. I would go for an 800 or 900.

the deal is great everything for less than the skimmer alone cost.
do you have a link to turn into a 900 or directions?
