Best in sump protein skimmer around $300 for my 125 gallon tank????

[Hop]

Good to hear Tony! Another how could you go wrong with MS scenario

I just wish they would get the new 300a body out so I can put my askoll on it I'm not complaining about the 250a that I built, but I just want that 300a

[Fat Tony]

LOL..... you sound like me on wanting a new tank in the dimensions of 5'x3'x18"

Never happy with what we have

[Hop]

I figure if I set the 250 body with the extended neck I'm looking at only putting out about 50-70 bucks for the 300a

[Fat Tony]

Not bad... I'd go for it. Any word on when they plan on the release of the 300a

[Hop]

No clue... There is one store in the US that has them now, but MS has been so good to me I was planning oh holding off until they have them... Plus I don't know if I can get just the body from the other company...

[Fat Tony]

Yea, I've had awesome results dealing with them. They have the 300a listed on the site for sale with the Askoll pump for $600... not a bad price at all. I think I will be going for it when I buy the bigger tank... I'm thinking of giving Aquarium Obsessed a call for a quote..

Cool! I'll look forward to your new build thread Although I can't post in the club forum

[Fat Tony]

LOL..

We'll see about the tank build (i'm expecting the tank cost to be around 2K..yowza!)

Stop on by the club forum, just be sure to post relative info to the threads

[Hop]

I'm not sure I have relevant info anymore... The further I edumicate myself, the less reefing stuff I can cram into my head

[Fat Tony]

LOL... I know the feeling. with all the different training classes I have been in lately (and how some contradict the others) my mind is jumbled on the difference between a fish bone and a fish bone diagram...yikes!

I bought the bubble Magug 160 with the recirculation pump outside the body on ebay. (BM160) This thing is a monster. This is the best $325 I have spent on my tank. I have a 125g tank and this is rated up to 215g but bigger is better in the skimmer world. (in my opinion) Hope this helps someone out there.
