240 reef skimming

[xeniaman]

I'm currently running a coralife super skimmer 220 and a aqua-c remoral pro w/ mag drive pump on my 240 reef. Is this enough?
Here is my stock list:
-Hippo tang 3 inches
-Dusky wrasse 6 inches
-midas blenny 4 inches
-percula clowns(2) small
-devils hand leather
-toadstool leather
-blushing leather
-colt coral

-pom pom xenia
-various mushrooms and zoas
-frogspawn
-bubble
-3 brains
-monti cap
-monti dig
-monti procillipora
-plate coral
-gsp
-various snails and hermits
-cleaner shrimp
-cbs
-pincushion urchin
-bta
my lighting is 4 175w halides w/ xm bulbs 15k
I am running a 30 gallon refugium w/ chaeto and have about 220 pounds of live rock in display and fuge. I am also running 4 mj mods 2 with the white prop and 2 with the black prop.
Ammonia-0
nitrite-0
nitrate-10ppm(working on it with 35g water changes every 2-3 weeks).
calcium-440
alk-10
my tank is a 240 tall 6ft tank so I don't have much height under my stand (coralife ss barely fits)

i think you should upgrade your skimmer. the super skimmer is only rated for 220 gals, and your tank alone has more than that. also, you may want to do water changes more frequently to get those trates down. like once a week.

any suggestions on a skimmer? I'm really considering downsizing my tank, I go through ALOT of salt and I am tired of using a step ladder to reach into the tank. Honestly, I kind of miss my 90
