one large skimmer or 2 medium?

[Big Chippa]

I am changing my system around and want some skimmer input. The current system is aprox 135 gal but will be 260 gal in a week. I have a euro reef cs 135 and want to know if i should add one large euro reef in place of the existing one, or should i add a slightly larger one than the existing one and run both. Please chime in, thank you.

I have asked the same question and I received the following information. One larger skimmer is better than two smaller ones, but two smaller ones work fine too. A few people say that running one to skim wet and one to skim dry is the way to go. I am not sure, but two good skimmers would be better than one.

Adding one new ER would be fine. It just depends.

If I were you, I'd sell the CS135 and buy an RC250 because I really like RC skimmers. You'd be golden with the RC250
