Protein Skimmer Size for a 75 gal tank question

[3 tanks]

Hi....my first post here. Thanks for any advice. We have a 75 gallon reef tank with a dying 110 protein skimmer. We're looking at a new Coralife cone skimmer but they only have 75 gallon or 150 gallon size. What would you recommend? Would the 150 gallon size be too much for this size tank?

I would suggest the swc 160cone. Be perfect for a tank that size.

I ran a corallife 120 on a 75 and same one on a 90 and again on my 105 worked just fine. I do have that slimmer forsale if your interested.

The 150 Coralife 150 would be fine. No such thing as to big when it comes to skimmers. Unable to locate l/h air intake. But basically the more l/h the better the skimmer.
SWC160g is also a very good skimmer. It has a 600l/h air intake
Bubble Magus NAC-7. Has 500l/h air intake

Check out reef dynamics. Running a ins 135 on my 75 and its awesome.
