How does it compare to AquaC EV240?

@BIGVIC555 no nothing is too big
only nitrate filters can be too big
skimmer are too big if the skimmer is more
bigger than 6000,litre size one. plus bigger skimmer
the more waste and more quicker it will do job by

I am thinking of getting the XP 5000 as well for my 180g. Better too big then too small, i say.

I'm looking for a new external skimmer. Do you own this or is this a company promo?
It says its rated for 400 gallons, I have 300 but it does not specify stocking like most skimmers.
ie. Heavy 200 gallon, Medium - 300 gallon
light - 400 gallon.

I would say for my fairly heavily stocked 180 its a tad to big and the 3000 woulda been a better fit.

I own it. Its installed on my pretty heavily stocked 180g. As for skimmer rating id say its almost over sized for my tank it would probably be a good fit for ur 300g. So far i couldnt be happier with the skimmer
