So after much consideration, talking to different people I finally purchased the SRO 2000 INT, it is rated for 180 gallons but everyone is saying these are underrated. It will be running on my 58dt with 40 breeder sump and soon to add a 55 gallon frag tank.
Well I received skimmer yesterday from John and All Things Aquatic and it is doing awesome!
I was quite surprised at how large it actually is, and the Bubble Blaster 2000 pump it comes with is solid!
Now for some pics

Good deal, you will love it! These are awesome skimmers and are not under rated by any means.

Are you thinking of overrated? Regardless...amazing skimmers. I've had mine going for some time now...I'm always amazed by what comes out of it.

Well I don't know about over rated but for sure rated for a HEAVY bioload. If the skimmer says 180g rated...it's safe to say that's high bioload 180g.
