Quick Bare Bottom Question

If im running an ASM g1x protein skimmer on about 130 gallons of water, would that be sufficient enough to run a bb reef? There will be a refugium running also but im wondering if the G1x will be able to handle it all.

the fuge should pick up the slack for added mechanical filtration that the skimmer might fall short on. You will have to crank the flow through the fuge however so it comes in contact with more gph.
As with any skimmer its only effecient if it can keep up to the flow through the sump. Just make sure that's its gph match the gph of flow through the sump.
