    With a high stocked 75 gallon tank. Should I purchase a stronger skimmer than what's recommended? I'm planning on doing a FOWLR tank.

    IME it is better that way, going +1 on the skimmer is better, whatever the one is that is rated to work for your tank, go the next one up i.e. if find one that is rated for 80g and another 100g of same kind, get the 100

    +1 on the bigger skimmer. I ran a skimmer rated for 125g on my 72g FOWLR.
