Higher rating will grant you the ability to skim out nutrient more effectively.

It also gives you the options of reusing when you intend to upgrade your tank.

It depends on how you look at it bro. For example if you skim to heavily and nutrient level become extremely low, your softy will suffer.

Yes you have to take into account your total water volume.

For me i'm using BM Nac 5.5 which is rated at 80-130G where my tank total volume only at 50-60 only my rough estimation.

yes, u need to take the sump volume into a account too.

when you get a skimmer You should consider

1:How Heavy A Bioload

2:Total volume of tank

Its Good to have a bigger skimmer..look for ratings abit bigger than your tank volume

Also if bigger can use for your next tank in the future

Heavy Nutrient Tank With bigger stocking skimmer is good..will skimm out compounds better..

IMO the best bang for our money is BM. Its price is in the middle region not expensive and not cheap but performance wise is something which i will recommend.
