What are you getting?
Great skimmer IME, but inadequate for a 250.

I'm using a Rio 3100 that I already had. I believe they recommend a Mag 7, check the website.

I'm very satisfied with this skimmer. Once you set the level using the riser tube, fuggedaboudit. The larger models have a gate valve which I prefer, but not offered on this model.
Seriously, all I do is clean the collection cup and drain the waste container once or twice a week. Otherwise, no adjustments. Once I reached in and cleaned the body because it was growing coralline from the lights in my fuge. But that was months ago. In my setup the pump inlet never gets clogged because the overflow water crashes down on it.
Well, I've used a Coralife SuperSkimmer which was a nightmare and I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
I bought a used AquaC EV-180 for my 55. That works very well, but the foam tower gets coated with skimmate and you have to reach in and clean it out when you empty the collection cup. That's smelly and gross and sometimes the glob of skimmate falls back into the body. I do like their waste container though, it has a vent you can put carbon in to get rid of the smell.
The Bermuda removes more stuff (of course, it's a 90 compared to a 55), doesn't clog and has NEVER overflowed. It works for me.
Eco Reef carries them if you want to see one in action.

Get a euro-reef 500 or something like that. Go check out the euroreef skimmer thread, over 200 pages, many pictures and designs, the skimmers work great. imo
