It said that the optimal level is Max 9.5" to Min 7". My level in my sump is 11". I like the Vertex skimmer but what would you recommend because my water level is at 11" and I don't think I can reduce the water level. My tank is 150 gallons and sump is 30 gallons.
Thanks
Thanks
Question by: Trisha on Aug 11, 2016, 8:41 PM
Thanks for reaching out to us! The easiest way, and what most reefers do, is to build an eggcrate stand to set the skimmer on. This would allow you to adjust the skimmer height in the sump rather than mess with your total water level. :-)

Hello! How would one calculate bio-load from light, medium, and heavy (number of fish or size/length of fish)? I am planning on getting a Red Sea reefer 350 and I want to be able to house a heavy bio load. Would the Vertex Omega 150 be sufficient or is the 180?
Thanks! You guys are super helpful!!

Question by: Andrew A. on Apr 21, 2016, 6:07 AM
Great question!
There is no exact calculation, but if the tank has a lot of fish and regular feedings it can be considered heavy bio-load. The 150 would be on the small end and the 180 just about perfect!

What is considered light, medium, and heavy stocking? I have a 75 gallon with a 30 gallon sump. I have 14 corals, a yellow tang, a watchman goby, 2 percula clownfish, a mandarin dragonet, a royal gramma, a male mccosker wrasse, a tiger pistol shrimp, a coral bandit shrimp, 2 peppermint shrimp, 5 snails, and 6 hermits. Is this tank considered as medium stocked? Thanks!
Question by: Michael on Apr 19, 2016, 2:57 PM
Great question!
This certainly would work well on a system of your size. That amount of fish is right in the middle bio-load range. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!

hello
i have a 70 gallon tank, with 70lbs of live rock and 6 fish (mostly tangs) + a sump which i would guess holds another 10 gallons or more of water. i currently have a coral life cone skimmer - 75. can u advise if my current skimmer is sufficient or could i benefit by upgrading to the Vertex Omega 150 or if any other one ?
thx

Great question!
The Vertex 150 would be a great fit for a heavier stocked 70 gallon tank! We find that the vertex skimmers a quieter and very efficient in performance and tuning. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!

When buying a skimmer do I need to take the water volume of both the sump and the tank or just the tank into consideration
Question by: Craig Watkins on Apr 6, 2016, 9:13 AM
Great question! When selecting a skimmer you will want to consider the following:
- Total system volume (meaning display tank and sump)
- Bio-load (how heavily you stock the tank)
- Dimensions of your sump ( foot print of skimmer vs. what you have room for)
