Skimmer Question

[hnf2k]

right now i have a marine technical concepts hang on skimmer that i believe is good for about 50 gallons of water. i have a 65 gallon tank with about a 30 gallon sump. now im assuming that my skimmer isnt adequate for this tank anymore. is it ok to buy another smaller skimmer like my own and use both of them at once? or am i better of going out and buying a bigger better skimmer?

It's all about turnover rates. The more times you turn over the water and the longer the contact time, the more protien and junk you remove from the water. If you have a light bio load you might get away with the skimmer you have.
