I went with the D.C. 150 as the pump is outside as opposed to mini 160 making it easier to clean .

Will a mini 180 at lowest setting be too much for the tank ?

I think your double cone 150 is just fine. No need to upgrade on a tank that size as this skimmer is more than up to the task of that size tank with that few fish and it's obviously doing a very good job for you. A Mini 160 would also work but again, your skimmer is performing great as evidenced by the skimmate. A Double Cone 180 would be too large given your light load and unless you doubled the number of fish in your display, it would likely end up being inconsistent where as this skimmer that you have now could still handle a handful more fish without issue.
