skimmer question

[Broderick]

i just got a 125g tank so i'm upgrading from a 46 bowfront and the skimmer i am running on the bowfront is a bubble mag thats only rated up to 80 gallons. Can i use that on the 125g tank for know until i can get a bigger skimmer? if so what can i excpect the bubble mag to do for know?

Well it won't keep up and u will have excess organics in the tank could lead to highr nitrates and po4

an undersized skimmer is better than no skimmer you might need to empty the cup alot more if you up the bioload but just keep up on the water changes

I will have one for sale. I have a new cone plus the tank I will be getting on the weekend comes with a skimmer rated for 125

Broderick,

If still have the Bubble Magus BM-NAC,it is rated for 100-160gal. How heavy do you plan on stocking your 125G?
