Worth upgrading from Euroreef CS6-2 to MSX160?

Eight · 08/26/2008, 02:30 PM

So I've been running my trusty Euroreef CS6-2 (Sedra SP2 pump) on my 80 gallon mixed reef for three years now. It's been reliable and pulls a decent amount of skimmate, but I've been toying with the idea of upgrading my skimmer as my bioload has increased. I probably have 8 or 9 fish in the tank, some of them are very heavy feeders. (Rabbitfish, large tang, 6 inch watchman goby, etc.)

I'm highly space constrained in my sump, so I need something that will fit within an 8x10 inch space. The MSX160 looks like it would fit fine.

Does anyone have any comments/experience with going from a Euroreef to the MSX160? I'm not only concerned with performance, but also want to be sure it's reliable, easy to use, etc.

Thanks,

Jason
