I was looking at the MSX 200. Looks pretty nice for the price. Would the Vertex IN-250 be a better choice?

What about a used Bubble Master 200 for $300? So many different choices.

Bubblemaster are nice skimmer also! It kinda like Chevy and Ford you have to pick what you like best. LOL!

The MSX 200 is a great skimmer. I fear that it would be a tad bit too small on that tank. I have one on my 90g and I feel it is just right (not too much not too little).

Get yourself an i-Tech skimmer.

used BM for $300 and it has a small foot print for your space restrictions.
