Skimmers for 180g and Up

[adam87]

What size skimmers are you using on your large reefs tanks.
Right now I'm using a SRO3000, but want to upgrade to a external recirculating protein skimmer for better performance.

I was thinking a 10in body too, but with the RO/DC 5500s skimmer pump.
I order a Diablo DCRS-250ext that comes with a RO/DC 5500s but I cancel it. Jeremy from coralvue said it would too big. My tank is a 180 with a 20L frag tank but I might add my 75 too.

I guess why do you think your current skimmer is too small? The sro3000 should handle the 180.

Order my new skimmer yesterday, getting it tomorrow. Its a Diablo DCRS-200 external recirculating protein with a DC5500s pump. Was going get the 250 for more $37, but after talking to Jeremy it would too big for my system. They both use the same pump.

Looks to be performing quite well. What do you do if the cup overflows? Does it just go on the floor? That would really worry me.
