[davemc1234]

HI could any body give me advice on a skimmer size suitable for my tank , it is 1727litres and i am using a schuran jetskim 200 rated for tanks 1000 /2000 liters it is predominately sps stocked. Would It benefit from a larger skimmer many thanks dave.

every sps tank that i've seen that has impressive colors, be it on RC or live, without exception, have an overrated size skimmer. i would suggest getting the an over rated skimmer at least 2 times the what it's rated for. now i know that there's alot of things that contribute to color, but this seems to be a constant to every sps tank. i personally have a bubble king 200 mini on a 90 gallon sps tank. the bubble king is rated for 260 gallons. that's roughly 3 times what it's rated for and bubble king theoritically rates their skimmer size conserveitively. this is MHO.
