yes total volume is all your tank water combined.... i wouldn't make a big deal about it but luckily your in the market for a new skimmer and now is the perfect time to get a quality skimmer if you didn't in the beginning also i highly recommend getting one rated double your tank volume

i love my SRO1000 int... bubble blaster pump is great although it's so strong i had to throttle it back with an air valve because the older models didn't have the new restricted venture that they corrected about a year ago... But SRO highly recommend especially for the $
