Royal Exclusiv Vertex Alpha Cone 200?

can this skimmer handle a 250 gallon stocked tank with SPS, and about 20 fishes? would this be a better skimmer than the ATB line?

inputs interested thank you....

I have a alpha 200 on a 155 with 20 fuge and 15 frag tank, with a 30 long sump and about 16 fish, and its too big. Should have gone with the 170.

I would say a 200 should work. If your stocking has many large fish, may do the 250. I only have 3 tangs as large fish all the rest are small wrasse and, gobies and, clowns, and hogfish.

Reefer I just installed mine replacing a mini 200( worked great) but wanted to add some more muscle due to an attached 30 gal frag tank. To ealry to tell but the unit is top notch like every other BK owned.

I just ordered the A250 for my 133g with 40g sump/refugium. I like lots of fish and I feed heavy. It's replacing an Atb Econo 840.
