Skimmer ?s

So I'm a bit confused. Here's my set up

75 DT
20 sump
5 sump

I want to have a mixed reef

For fish I have one of each of the following

Ocellaris clown fish
Royal Gramma
Clown Goby
Black Axil Chromis
Ember Blenny
Firer fish
Flasher Wrasse
Kole Tang

So is this a Heavy, Medium, or light bio load?

I know the skimmer I have isn't big enough so when looking at skimmers should I be looking for something that can handle a 200 gallon heavy bio load? I'm looking at Reef Octopus skimmers by the way.

Thanks
 
depending on feeding regimen, and for some of those fish they do better with multiple small feedings a day, i would consider that on the heavy end for a 75 gallon.
 
personally I don't believe you can "overskim" So getting something rated for anywhere between 150 and 250 I think you will be fine. Its really more about how much room can you afford to give up for the skimmer.

Thats my problem. My skimmer is rated for 60 gallons heavy bio load but yet its a tight fit.
