Euroreef for 150g sps

[paulhines]

I'm setting up a new 150g tank specifically to raise sps corals. I'm sold on the Euroreef skimmers.

I'm leaning towards the CS-180 for $628, but am wondering if I should spend another $100 for the CS-250 ($728). The 180 uses a SP4 pump and 900 liters/hr of air. The 250 uses a SP5 pump and 1200 liters/hr of air.

Is the CS 250 "overkill"? How do I justify it? When is enough enough?

Why just consider ER? For close to the same money, you could go H&S or Deltec and get a MUCH better Eheim pump and impeller.
