Skimmer Setup Advice?

[Coral2Coral]

Hi All,
I am setting up a 90 gallon with a 50 gallon sump system, total gallon around 135-140.
What would be the Pros and Cons of using an ATB 1050A skimmer rated up to 530 gallon on this setup? Any inputs would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
Mark

When you have a smaller tank the overrated skimmer can have problems do to the larger neck size. Less Proteins have a harder time getting pushed up. I had a 100 gallon system and a Bubble King mini 200 did not work very well as it was too big.

I do run heavy bio load and run overrated skimmers on my system, but that is way too big a skimmer in my opinion. Get a bigger tank
