Hello all, just wanted to get your take on a protein skimmer size (aquamaxx dqc-2) to which I just purchased for my 130 gal build... I plan to run a FOWLR tank . I have a filter roller trigger system for a sump which is about 40gal. is this skimmer too big?
 
IMO in reefing and reefing filtration, bigger is always better.

As far as skimmers are concerned, I have always felt the opposite. I've seen too many people with oversized skimmers not be able to keep a consistent skim. Sometimes they will find massive overflows and more often than not it will not bubble up over the top.
