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.
Reef Octopus Regal 200SSS 8in Space-Saving Protein Skimmer (VarioS) is rated around 200g, 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.
