I just got my SRO 1000lss, which is the same but uses the bubbleblaster hy1000 pump instead of the sicce, i believe. It works awesome! I could not be happier. I looked at the XS160 and was about to buy it but picked this up right before the price jump. I recommend either. On that size tank it works great.

The XS160 is a phenomenal skimmer. It's basically plug and play and super easy to remove to clean. It did wonders for my 90g.

I have the XS 160 on my 75g, I am happy with the performance for the money paid. The only downside is that the air intake silencer doesn't do it's job very well and the unit is very loud unless you modify it.

Just put a small piece of tape over one of the holes. It worked wonders for mine and I can not tell any performance difference. Mine works great and skims like crazy, even on my lightly stocked tank.

Take a look a the AquaMaxx EM100. Uses the same Sicce pumps as the RO does, but very small footprint, 8.6" x 6.3"x21,7".

HERE is a little write up I did on it where I have it on my 110g with a 30g sump. It is rated to 120g. To date, it has never overflowed. Set it and forget it, super quiet, no gimmicks.
