SRO2000 vs SROXP2000

[obiwanthegoby]

Setting up a new system and trying to decide between the two SRO2000 skimmers. I will be putting it on a 120 gallon SPS dominant, heavy bioload, with a 40 gallon sump. Is there a significant benefit to the full cone of the XP versus the "1/2 cone" of the normal SRO? Any one have experiance with both?

Thanks,
Obi

Go to Coralvue's forum here and see where they recommend the SRO over the Cone.

I just dont know about 125 more for the full cone. Has anyone seen actual L/hr air pull numbers from these things??? If you go by some of the websites claims... ReefSpecialty.com being one of them, the SRO pulls more air than the SRO XP. Isnt the cone design suppose to relieve back pressure on the pump and in turn cause it to pull more air???
