Ok, so Im looking at a few protein skimmers for a 150 gallon tank.
The Aqua-C EV180 says its rated for 60-200 gallons? Thats kind of a wide range. I take it 180 is its realistic capacity?
Assuming the skimmer is rated for 180, would it be wiser to pay a little more and get a skimmer rated higher? Or would that just basically be wasted power.
Also... is it a good idea to buy used protein skimmers? Is the value of a used protein skimmer going to be equal to or less than the value of the remaining life of the skimmer? (I worry that even though a used skimmer is cheaper, the reality is that its lifespan is already shortened, possibly greatly)
