double cone 180 or 200?
I sort of feel like I am in between a dc 180 and a dc 200. I had a 60"x28"x24" tank built and the tank calculator tells me I have 174 gallons but with 1" thick acrylic do I subtract 2" off each number? If so it tells me I have 143 gallons with about 25 gallons in my sump. I have a pretty heavy load of fish and I feed lots of phytoplankton along with some zooplankton.

Slief is the expert here for sure. I agree to go with the dc180. I use the DC200 on my 240 and I have 30 fish in it and I am running it deeper than I anticipated in the sump. While 1/2 my fish are smaller, I feed a fair amount but I still have a lighter load for this skimmer. They are work horses!!!!
