Skimmer too large?

HoppyBunny · 09/29/2008, 04:05 PM

I am wondering if a Euro-Reef rs-180 is too large of a skimmer for a 110 gal display w/30 gal sump? Would a RS-135 be a better choice?

Bigger the better. Both of my tanks (100g and 110g) use an ASM G-3 which rated for 250g (I think).

I have a ER 135 on a 55 gallon, so I'd say go for the 180.
