Skimmer body size recc.'s for 58G mixed reef
Above?
...Or is there more important things such as air draw? ...I'm not really worried about energy use.

A 6'' body with around a 600 gph Rec. pump would be good.

i have run a:
EuroReef - RC80 - 5" body w/ sedra 3500 ReefMania.net - PS6 - 6" body w/ sedra 3500 Deltec AP600 - 5" body w/ Aqaubee 2000 Deltec APF600 - 5" body w/ Aquabee 2000/1 they all ran great but i think the APF600 has been running the best....BUT i have been increasing feedings and that easily could be causing the APF600 to be pulling more. i'd say anythign 5-6" diameter w/ a GOOD pump. you going to DIY one or buy one?
