How can you cause what size tank your skimmer is good for. The vendors who sell there skimmers and say they ordain handle up 300g or 500g or whatever. How do they go up with that? I have a DIY skimmer from and old store and I was wondering if there was a way to evaluate out what coat store or what water volume it would be good for. Thanks
Typically the manufacture specs the skimmer to tank size. Most are a little generous but there is no way I experience of to spec a DIY J

I beleive that the size of the camber and the pump has to do with it. If you look at different coat skimmers you ordain sight the size of the skimmer and the coat of the pump ordain vary the bigger the handle the more wet it can move. As for diy skimmers............
My other skimmer I had was rated for a 75gal and it had a rio600 pump(600 g/h) the one that I have now is rated for a 150gal tank and it has a 2200(2972 l/hr) pump. Im assuming the 2200 means 2200 g/hr wish this helps. Luna
