When I saw the UPS man bringing it out of his truck, I was like that's a big box. Once I opened it up and saw the skimmer body, it was bigger than I expected. Even knowing the dimensions, you don't realize it till you see it. I'll keep you's updated. That is the 250 btw.

Nick, I was checking out that KZ skimmer at Mshur's last night. It looked pretty good for a small sized skimmer. For the size tank I am planning (about 100gals) that might be perfect. I know 2 guys that say this little skimmer is much better than the BK 250.

MSX 160 Skimmer

Just thought to share some pics of my MSX 160 Skimmer.

It's price tag is manageable at $300, but it requires some patience and tweaking to get it up and running.

The pics are after the 2+ week breaking in period.

The skimmer is currently supporting a 50Gal Breeder with a 20G sump/fuge.
3 - chromis
1 - Lyretail Anthia
2 - False Oscellaris Clowns
5 - snails
10 - hermit crabs
80 lbs of Live Rock and 70lbs of Live sand.

Pics consist of the skimmer with about 2+ days of skimmate. The collect cups holds about 8 cups of crapp.
