".. too large to function properly.." that does mean over skimming. Yes you can and will over skim your tank if much bigger skimmer is used. Manufactures rate their skimmers based on average bio load but we love to feed our fish a lot and put many of them in our tanks so getting a slightly bigger skimmer is OK. With lower bio load, DSB, fudge, socks over skimming can became an issue even with the skimmer rated for your tank size. Some skimmers skim better then others but size does matter.
