Im setting up my 55 gallon aquarium and I think ive decided on getting an SCA skimmer, but the problem is i dont know which one to purchase. the SCA-301, 302 or 303? Sump is your standard 20L. Thanks everyone!

For me I use this rule of thumb when picking out a skimmer is to upsize by a factor of 1.5 total water volume in your case 75 x 1.5 = 112.5 So I would go for the 303 if I was to buy a SCA skimmer.

I do not know anything about this brand so please do not take this a recommendation for this brand of skimmer.
