Question about Euro reef CS80 skimmer ?

[STEELERFAN747]

The Euro reef cs80 is factory rated for tanks of 80g. However, I have heard this is very generous.

Does anyone have this skimmer on a bigger tank? and if so, how is the skimmer working for you?

I am thinking of putting one in a 120g and was hoping for input or opinion on wether or not the skimmer could handle a 120g tank?

I will have about 200lbs of live rock and a 30g refugium.

Thank you in advance,

Rey.

The ability of a skimmer to handle a tank is based on your bioload. If you look at their rating it says for a heavy bioload it is rated for 50 gallons. I would go for a bigger skimmer; but, in the interest of full disclosure I have a skimmer rated for 220 gallons on a 40 gallon system.
