how many are running this set up? im running about 90 gallons of water now. should i go with the 160 or buy the 200 ?i may be setting up a 120 gallon reef tank in the future. its only a 20.00 more for the 200 .

Jin has one. But for $20 extra, might as well go for the bigger one! Just my 2 cents.

I have the Extreme 160 and it's a great skimmer! I have a 65g tank with a 30g sump fuge that's 3/5 full. I would say i have about 70-75g total vol. It skimmed hard and now it's leveled off and my water is cleaner with less algae on my sand. It's wonderfull and it has a small footprint since the pump is under the skimmer....also raises it up to that sweet spot (in my sump anyway). The Sicce pump is sweet and the needle wheel works great. I have the mesh mod but haven't used it yet. If you get start up issues just trim the mesh and you'll be good to go.

If you have the room just get the larger skimmer. It's not much more like stated before.

You won't regret either purchase.
