Well thats good to know looks like the same type of Skimmer, just a smaller model, calculates out right on with what you’re using with the 3000 on a 180 gallon.
I was originally looking at the Extreme 160, but was advised by Coral Vue the neck would be too big and for my size tank the SRO1000 would do the best job.
So my first section of my sump will need to be 12” X 12” ( 12”be limited on width)
so I tried to reply to this 2 times with a quote button and it messed up the script both times. So third times a charm here goes
You said that you had asked the rep. about the skimmers and I was just curious as to what reason he/she gave for the more powerful skimmer being "too big" ? And yes my skimmer and my tank add up but that is because I bought the biggest skimmer that would fit my sump (pretty small section for the skimmer) and the most I wanted to pay for the skimmer. I would have gotten the 3000 even if It were a 55 gallon tank I was rocking because your skimmer really doesn't care what the total volume is on your tank in gallons... It skims to its full working capacity no matter if you have a 55g tank or a 200g tank. I am not trying to me sassy Hope it doesn't come out that way just trying to help and save you money in the long term if you want a 100 gallon tank in a year or two.
Hope this helps a little.
