Nice - willing to share (those beads) with the rest of us?

Funny, I grew up in “New AW-lins” and went to a bunch of Mardi Gras parades. I had bags and bags of beads, cups, and weird toys that I saved over the years. Our family left LA (Louisiana, not Los Angeles) many moons ago so lost all my “collection”.

We would go to Cafe Du Monde every weekend, pigging out on their famous beignets. Sadly, the beignets in France was not as good as in Louisiana!

I didn’t know that CoralVue is HQ’ed in Slidell, LA - hence the beads!!!

When we were in Nawlins last time we went by the Cafe Du Monde we were there for MACNA
Had great fun, survived hurricane Harvey, flew to Newark then Chicago to get home because going back through Houston was a non-option.
Great City hope to get back there again

You know — some of us can always start a controversial topic every few days and we can debate about it. However, this is a reefing forum after all.

So I was thinking is it better to over size a skimmer or undersize it.
What do you guys think.

You asked the wrong guy since I like to get the biggest skimmer that can fit in the sump compartment! I can always adjust the water level and number of hours to run. Besides, having more gas exchanges is a good thing. Again, it’s just me…

I agree with @bakbay . Bigger is better.

Tale of two skimmers, Tank 120 gallon with 5 large fish about the size of my hand each,
1) Skimmer Simplicity 240 DC clean the cup about 1 once a week, thick dark chocolate scrap the size of the skimmer.
2) BINB Octopus Regal 200 DC for my 225 gallon dry tank.
Install skimmer for giggles, after 1 month about 1" of skim mate in the cup. Pull skimmer place the Simplicity back in.
I have to dump the cup every 8 hours, when I get up for work, get home from work, and when I go to bed this went on for a month.

Now go set up the 225. We need a side by side comparison.
