I am looking at purchasing and ASM G3 for a 210g fish, live rock, some coral system with a 75g combined sump/refugium and 2 Mag 1200's for return. Would this skimmer and pump (Sedra 5000 rated at 650gph) be appropriate. I am a bit confused on what kind to buy and how the gph on the skimmer ties in with the whole gph flow through the refugium. If I calculated things correctly for the return pumps and head height I will have about 10x's flow through the refugium. Will the skimmer keep up with that?
