What is a good skimmer? Some parameters to be aware of: 1. Noise . 2. Hum. 3. Did I say noise already?
Another one - overflowing. If you thought to get external (hand on) type think again. Even good one (read expensive) can overflow in no time when you add this "awesome super liquid" in your tank water. Size. It does matter a lot if you have small sump or no sump at all. Footprint and height check them both! It should be some space between skimmer cup and your tank for you to take cup off.
So I wouldn't wary about over-skimming there are so many other more important things to wary about
. Yes it is possible but you can always shut the noisy thing down for good!
