First off ....isnt that overkill on the skimmer? lol

Secondly, shouldnt the skimmers gate valve be above water not below?

Yes, the skimmer is a bit overkill for the tank, but then ill be keeping a heavy bioload and also a bunch of nps..so it should be able to handle it.

As for the gate valve, its just above the water level, added an extra pipe as the outflow is a bit noisy..
