RS250 is a much larger, more powerful skimmer. I wouldn't use an AP600 on that size tank despite the "rating". An RS250 is the right size skimmer. BTW, I have owned both.

I dont have it any longer, but I liked it a lot. Its a beast of a skimmer @ 30" tall. Make sure it will fit. Its a great skimmer for the size system you are setting up. The AP600 is also a nice skimmer, but I wouldn't use one on anything above a 90G.
