Would you upgrade from that custom skimmer?

[Guillaume]

Hi,
I'm upgrading from one 33g to a 65g with the 33g as a sump. 1/3 of the sump will contain fuge with sand, chateo and letuce.

I have this "custom" hang on skimmer sold by the LFS who make it. They told me it is rated up to 100g and work fine on my 33g.

I question the need to replace it with a bigger skimmer (180g rated Vertex or other) considering the macro algeas filtering in the fuge.

Note that the tank will have a low load of coral and medium load of fish (1 oscelaris, 1 six line wrasse, 3 chromis, 1 flame wrasse, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 britle star, a few snails) and I'm a low fish feed freak and not lasy on water changes. Will use RO/DI.

See those picks from my current skimmer which I will put in the sump:


An idea of the output size (2 X 1 inches):


Would you replace it? See problems on keeping this one?

Thanks in advance

Forgot to say I payd a 300$ for this one...
