Is a CPR Bakpak 2R enough for a 65g?

I have the bakpak on my 29g right now, and I am planning an upgrade to a 65 I have lying around. I am just wondering if I am going to need to upgrade my skimmer as well. I'd rather not!

I'm running one on a 55, it works fine for me. How well it will work depends on your bio load, and how much you feed. I believe they are rated for up to 75 gallons. I'm no sure about the rating though. You mat want to replace the Rio w/ a MaxiJet 1200 w/ a venturi kit. The Rio on mine started leaking electricity into the tank.
