Can I get your opinion? Not many stipulations just want it rated for 200+ Gallons and kick A$$?

Aquamaxx CO-3 will fit what you need............gets great reviews, but has a big foot print.
I like my Skimz SM-161, small foot print, great design, and skims great. It's rated for up to 317 gal systems, but the pumps get mixed reviews online. I've already replaced the pump due to the power cord breaking off right where it leaves the body of the pump, it was under warranty.

I like the Aquamaxx skimmers but almost all the major vendors say they don't have them in stock because Aquamaxx has a big issue with supply and making deadlines on shipments. That worries me.....

Love the Jns but that's a hard skimmer to find in stock as well.

I've been doing some reading and now I'm wondering if maybe I'm trying to go to big? In others opinions can your skimmer be to big for your system? I'm not talking about a 500g skimmer on a 100g water volume, I'm talking about anything over X2? I estimate my total water volume to be about 90g so should I be aiming for a 180g-200g skimmer?
My current skimmer is rated for 240g max and sometimes I don't get a good head of foam and I believe it's because there isn't enough organics in the skimmer/system? Thoughts.....

My SM-161 is rated for up to 317gal systems, and I'm only at about 70gal total volume.
I have a heavy bio load in a full reef, so bigger skimmer is better.

I have
2-Clowns
3-Wrasses
1-small Tang
1-watchmen Goby (I want to get rid of)
1-female Anthias (ditto^^)
So I don't think I have a very high bio load.
