Adding a 2nd Skimmer?

[Aspect]

Hello all, I currently have a 360 gallon tank (400 gallons total volume) and I'm running a Bubble Magus B12. I currently have around 20 fish including 2 sharks, and an eel. The bio load is large and will only get larger. I want to have around 40-50 fish in this tank all said and done, I have a Bubble Magus B9 as well and was thinking about adding this to my tank. I'm not sure if it will actually do anything as the only place it will fit in my sump is the middle chamber which comes after my filter socks, 1st protein skimmer, and media chamber with purigen, bio sponges, and carbon. Would it be worth it, I'm thinking at the very least it will help even more with the gas exchange providing more oxygen to my tank. Thanks for any advice.

Fish only system ? Or you keeping corals as well?

Phosban reactor for Phosphate reduction works really well and could dose something like NOpox to reduce your nitrates ?

I suppose if they get to a level that's unacceptable.

Also it's a mixed reef with LPS and softies.
