great, its been breaking in nicely. last Sat. I found a little baby banggai in my sump. so I've been feeding him a lot, which kills the foam head.
but other than that its been great.

The Warner Marine R-Series of Protein Skimmers
The R-Series Protein Skimmers are external, recirculating designed models designed for use outside of a sump, adjacent to the aquarium.

yes it is a great external skimmer. Uses the same pump as the other wm 200 series skimmers. Pullins in about 1000 lph of air and a good amount of water to boot. Nice unit. I have only ran one skimmer external. THe das ex1 like the deltec apf600. I am just not a fan of running them external if I dont have too. Great product though.

Keeping it Simple
Hey Mojo~,
I'm going to be running a 100g SPS/Clam tank in the next few weeks, and I want a skimmer that will be a little oversized for it (since I'll be dosing bacteria). I was thinking the MSX-200. Do you think this skimmer will do the trick? Thanks for the advice!

The msx 200 is a nice choice. THe only downside to the msx / octo x is sometime the pump starts in the wrong direction. Not a huge issue if you dont turn it on and off everyday. But overall a good choice for that size system.
other choices would be the vertex in180 and the mrc ocean force 200 for around the same price range. for a little more the warner marine as 150 would be a good fit too. So I hope that this helps. good luck. Mojo~
