I am selling my beloved SWC/MSX Extreme 200 skimmer. This is an awesome skimmer. In fact, I like it so much, I just bought it's larger cousin, the SWC/MSX Extreme 250. I have it on my heavily stocked 200 SPS tank and it has done admirably, but the combination of growing fish and an inability to resist new fish purchases has prompted this upgrade.
I am firm at $250, because I can confidently get that in $US on RC. It is in flawless condition.
In action in my sump.

Extra-wide necks in the design to allow for more air flow.

Custom pin wheel impeller as well as an optional mesh wheel impeller. (I will include both)
Up to 32scfh to 37scfh of air pull using custom pin wheel impeller and up to 50scfh using mesh wheel impellers! These are real numbers not hyped numbers Beware of COPIES!
