Is bigger always better ?

it has helped reduce organics which has helped in reducing your cyano problem

marek i was a beta tester for the skimz line, i had gotten the sm-202 recirc and absolutely loved it, but was just too much skimmer for my tank, dont remember what pump comes on the swc

I will be running a 180g w 75g sump and these are the 3 I've narrowed it down to:

Skimz SM201 Monzter E-Series JNS SK3 ATB 840 v2

Hope this helps! I am seriously leaning towards the skimz, the ATB is almost $200 more and idk if I can justify that.

Swc comes with a askoll 1500 - and for whatever I read is a nice pump

Skimz ms 201 -- any recommended water depth ? - my sump is about 7"

And also skimz has a Kone style skimmers - are they better then Monzter style ?

When looking at skimmers you will see a rating system that has no real relationship to another manufactures rating.
Some manufacturers will rate based on light medium and heavy stocking. Some rate based on gallons. It is all discretionary and highly controversial.

Also a skimmer cannot remove nitrates or phosphates from the water. It can remove something the nitrate or phosphate is bonded to but it cannot simply lower the presence of either of those two.
What will work much better is developing a bio load that will consume nitrate and phosphate, or limiting the amount you put into the tank.
