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.

Nyos Quantum 220 Protein Skimmer is rated around 500g, 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.
