Compatibility math
Bioload headroom
target skimmer rating = display gallons x bioload factor
Example: On a 75g mixed reef, ReefCrafter wants about 150g of skimmer rating for medium bioload.
IceCap K1-100 Protein Skimmer is rated around 80g, so the useful question is whether that clears the fish load with margin.
Risk notes
- A skimmer can be fine for a light reef and thin for the same tank once feeding and fish load increase.
Professional fit context
- Compare rated maximum gallons, physical fit, cup clearance, noise, and bioload margin.
- IceCap K1-100 Protein Skimmer fits roughly 40-80 gallon systems; confirm that range against the final display volume, sump volume, and livestock plan.
