Deltec AP600 capability

I've got a mixed reef with about 150 gallons total volume and a medium stocking level. Would a Deltec AP600 be able to properly skim to my SPS's liking?

I would go the the Deltic forum, they do like to overskim. So they may up your size especially since you want SPS's I would think a 851 or 701 would be OK

IME, no. An AP600 is good for maybe a 75 - 90G setup. If you want a Deltec, an APF600 at a minimum.

I have a Deltec APF600 on a 125 with a 40g sump, works great but I would not want to go any smaller.
