Hello,

I am setting up a 60 gallon cube after not having been really deep in the hobby the last few years. I am running a 30 gallon sump underneath and I am looking to get a new protein skimmer. I am planning on upgrading to a much larger tank and would like to "Buy Once Cry Once" and get a skimmer that will continue on to the next tank... I currently own a Bullet 2 Precision Marine Skimmer but dont want to use it because of the Huge footprint and I would need to buy a new pump... I was wondering if a AquaMaxx EcoMaxx EM200 would "Over Skim" and cause any issues? The reviews seem really good on it and I like the small footprint and overall build quality.

Thanks,
Mike G
