I wouldn't use that skimmer on anything over 20 gallons, nothing personal but seaclones are about as bad as skimmers get. It looks to be putting...
Its better to have a valve on the return than the drain. If something like a snail or a fish wants a ride to the sump and goes down the drain only...
I fell hard for them also, but after a disaster I am quite happy with my powder brown. ~Will.
