Simplicity 240DC or 320DC for a 150g tank

[Olathereefer]

For those of you that have experience with the Simplicity skimmers, would you recommend the 240dc or the 320dc for a 150g tank?

I have the 240 model on a 120 gallon tank with a large bio load. It skims very dry, you will be amazed if you have not seen one before that the pumps are small.

Thanks for the reply. I have heard great things about these skimmers. Do you think the 240dc can handle a 150 gallon tank? I know some companies exaggerate when it comes to the size of tank their products can handle.

Surely there are some Simplicity skimmer users on this site

Sorry for getting back late, you are at a crossroad, is your tank 150 gallons plus a sump? 120 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump?

150g display with 40g sump about half full. After researching more over the last couple days I am thinking the 320dc is the safer option and probably worth the extra cost.

Good choice, I have to use a spatula to remove the caked on skimmate off the side of the skimmer cup, These skimmers are quiet my wife does not complain about this one.
