Can you over skim?

The stand is almost done and Tank will be getting order of the coming weeks. Its going to be a 75 gal with a 20 gal sump. I found a new in box eshopps psk200. is that overkill or will i be able to run it? Its for a pretty sweet deal and i would like to use it for when we move and i get the bigger tank as well.

thoughts?

For that size tank, I think this skimmer would be a great fit.

On my 75 with a 20g sump I'm running a Reef octopus 150sss rated to 210 light load. I planned on having a medium bio load so I think it fits nice.

Thanks for the advice. This guy on CL is asking 150 for it. still in the box. I was hoping to find a used skimmer for 80-100 to start out but it seems like too good to pass up.
