Euro-Reef's Recirculating skimmers can handle larger bio-loads depending on the flow through rates. Slower flow through rates offer longer dwell times and higher "per pass" extraction levels. For RC models we recommend a flow through rate of 1 to 1.5 x the total system volume per hour. Ratings for these skimmers are offered as a "Base +" rather than one "Ideal" aquarium size.
