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.
Vertex Omega 180i Protein Skimmer is rated around 184g, 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.
- Price is marked as estimated, so verify current vendor pricing before treating the budget as final.
