    Hi
    At these days,I prepare for new SPS reef tank. Actually, I have Deltec protein skimmer (SC 2560) with technical data:

    -normal stocking :2000
    - light stocking :2400
    -Power consumption Watt : 33- 38
    - pump power 1700

    So, I want to know what is the suitable volume to this kind of skimmer

    Now that is a skimmer!

    Do you mean how many gallons it's rated for? 635gallons (U.S.) Thats what I found doing my search.

    Welcome to 3 reef Murad

    if the tank is heavily stocked, at max of fish capacity etc
    then its OK with a 2000 litre aquarium or 500 US gallons (444 UK gallons)
    if its a lightly stocked tank, low bio load etc then its rated up to 2400 litres or 600 US gallons (533 UK gallons)

    its a beast of a skimmer, I just googled it
