msx 250

well its time to purchase a protein skimmer... the last item i need before i setupmy tank.... i am thinking about purchasing a msx 250, used for $225... it looks to be in good condition.. i was wondering what people thought of this skimmer.. also, is it big enough for my system.... i have a aga 120(48x24x24) a 60 gallon sump, a 60 gallon refugium and another 60 gallon for a frag tank... so 300 gallons in all.... i dont really trust manufacturer ratings, i prefer real experiences and views... lmk, thanks Rick

Yes. It should be plenty big enough. I would check the pumps to make sure they are working properly before buying a used skimmer. That's just me though.
