Yes you can run the current skimmer for now without any problems. When you get your new upgrade just swap them out.

absoluty. i went from a 75 gallon to a 170 gallon and used the same skimmer until i did a ton of research. i wanted to make sure i got the right one and a really good one. Take ur time, skimmers r a big deal.
