Both look to be great skimmers i want something i can run outside my sump i have a 120 thats pretty stocked wouldnt call it heavy yet but, as most of us know that can change quick plus I wouldnt mind having something that could handle a tank larger than what i have incase of upgrade.

Thanks in advance.
 
I think either would do the trick for you, however they are very different skimmers in terms of size and capability. The XP2000 external is much smaller than the Xtreme 250A. The XP 2000 is about the size of an ATB 840, and smaller than Alpha 170, where the Xtreme 250A is about the same size as the Alpha 250, and bigger than an ATB 1050 / Medium. If you are looking for future upgrade purposes then definitely go with the Xtreme. If you do not plan on upgrading then the XP2000 would be just fine for you.

Thanks,
Jeremy
