It has to do with neck size. When skimmers are working tanks smaller than they are rated for, there is not enough of a bioload to constantly produce skim. So, it sits there idle, until enough doc is obtained to overflow into the cup.
Some run into problems when they set the internal level too high to run wet or get something in the cup, and when the docs are enough to rise, the skimmer starts overflowing, and doesn't stop until the sump level lowers.
The em300 will work just fine on this system, if set up properly IMHO...
