would it hurt to have a 70 gal skimmer on a 20 gal tank

I'm assuming you mean one rated for 70 gallons. What brand of skimmer are you talking about?

 

[travis89]

I don't see any problems with it.

I dont see any problem with it. It will make it that much easier to upgrade your tank if/when the time comes.

nope its fine. i had a remora (rated 75) on my 20 for a year, now its on my 29. i think its actually recommended to get a skimmer rated for a certain percentage higher than your tank size. not sure what it is, though.

Yep, vast difference between what skimmers are 'rated' for and what we'd actually used them on. Which skimmer is it?

i have one rater for a 150 on my 30 and it skims like nothing i have ever seen befor! lol imo i dont think it matters!

 

[fish2]
