Would upgrading from Bubble magus mini q skimmer to a bigger nano protein skimmer be worth it?
I am using a 2w Bubble magus mini q protein skimmer and I love it. I like it a lot more than the Reef octopus 110int I had for a different tank in the past although they are in a compete different category.
Easy to use, uses little power, consistent skim, little foot print, little noise etc.
I undersized the skimmer on purpose when I first got it. I had other means of filtration like an ATS and skimmer was only there to assist.
I have recently expanded my tank by connecting another tank to my 100 liter (30 gallon aprox) AIO tank and doubled it. So now I have two 100 liter (30 gallon) tanks connected side by side, totaling about 200 liters or 60 gallons.
I feed more than before and will probably feed even more in the future so there is already plenty of organic to skim.
I'm not too worried about filtration and don't mind keeping it as is but but if upgrading to a bigger nano skimmer would make a significant difference, I am willing to change it.
Due to space limitations, I can only get nano skimmers for AIO (can't even get a HOB kind).
Do you think it's worth upgrading or is it not going to make a meaningful difference?
