it should work great for that size tank.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=15422281#post15422281 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by snaza
I just ordered a white 1050 with 1500 airstar pump from Anton. Hope this will be ok for my 200g

Hi Mojo,
I'll be setting up a 180G with softies and medium bio-load. With the sump I will have about 220G. I've read through all 28 pages tonight and have narrowed it down to what I hope are my two choices. I do not turn my skimmer off during feeding, so I don't think the Sicce pump running backwards will be an issue.
1. MSX 250
2 Vertex in 280
Do you think it would be a better choice to move up to the MSX250A or would this be overkill.
Thanks

Both of those would work great. The 250A would be really nice as well but does raise the price some.
Basically the msx uses 2 pumps and the vertex uses one. I found that the ratinf were very conservative on the two vertex models I had. THe 100 was rated at 420 lph and pull about 700 and the 180 model rated at 720 actually pulled about 1000 lph.
Either way you go you will be happy I am sure.
Mojo~
