Looking for a protein skimmer

Got a Reef octopus XS160 that is less than a year old. Works well with no issues. I am told that it is over kill on my 75 gal tank (mostly corals) and a light Bio-load. Its skims well, i wondered if if should do more.. I have asked Coralvue and they say that its just to big of a skimmer for my tank.. Let me know if u'd be interested. Paul C.
Skimmer is still in sump right now. I expect my BM Curve 7 this week. ( I HOPE) I could take vid of it tonight.. Get it cleaned up. I dont have the original box.. I'm guess shipping would be around $50... So, i'll say $225 shipped...Let me know. Paul C.
To elaborate on the skimmer. In my 75 (bc its rated for 160) i think it should be pulling more stuff than it is. Coralvue has said, that there isnt enough water flow through the sump, and that the bio-load just isnt enough for the skimmer to pick up. I look at it at various times, and it goes through cycles where its skimming well, and then at other times, its very wet. So, i have gone with a smaller neck skimmer...
