Help with skimmer

[Devaji108]

I have a 240 reef w/ 20-30ish sump.
right now I am using the Kent nautallus TE W mag 7 rated for 300 gal.
some sites rate it for only 150.....
so do I need a bigger skimmer? my bio-load is still very small but I am adding more fiah all the time.
if you would use a bigger skimmer what would you use?
thanks

If I was to get a bigger skimmer I would go with a GEO. Hands down butt kicking skimmers. Things almost pull the poo out of fish they work that great. Here is a thread on our local club. GEO aka George is local for us in columbus and everyone around here has something from him. Here is a thread to give you more info

I have a 240gal also and I have a H&S A200-3xF2001 and it works greats pulled gunk out of the tank the first day. Its a little pricey but its built like a M1 tank and was easy to set up and pulls about 3cups of goo a day from a heavy bio-load. Here is the thread of my tank and the skimmer.
