MSX 200 for SPS 100g tank?

kaserpick · 04/12/2009, 11:21 PM

Hey all! I'm upgrading to a new 100g setup, and I thought now would be a good time to upgrade the skimmer. I'm looking for a more efficient skimmer; my previous skimmer is a Euro-Reef RS-135. While the sedra pump did well, I've heard the Sicce pumps are really efficient and quite. I think it's worth mentioning as well that I'm running a bacteria driven skimmer, so I'll want to over size the skimmer.

Would the MSX 200 be more than enough?

Go for it! I had the 250 version and it certainly pulls some nasty.

I have an MSX 200 on my 120 SPS dominant tank. It works great.
