JRaquatics · #53 01/03/2008, 10:01 PM

Looks good. Are there any shots of the mesh mod?

cashman95 · #54 01/03/2008, 10:14 PM

No shots of the meshmod yet, but I ran across this for all you "hang on the backer's" suppose to work well!

still waiting on the proper water level to run these badboys

Did you notice the prices listed for the 200 now? $299-349. Wonder if that's modded and unmodded?

tangafish · #58 01/03/2008, 10:24 PM

yeah something i need to know too. man that 200 in the pics looks big, it certainly looks like it can handle my load. Cant wait to see what everyone thinks once they get them up and running

Jayson from SWC had posted on week that the operating depth is 8-10". I hope he's right - I built my sump off that info.

That was an error on the site. Had to do with multi-orders. It has been fixed. Thanks.

i hope hes right too....im looking to get the msx160....hope it will be the same as i dont have room to raise the skimmer....

VaderWS6 · #62 01/03/2008, 10:43 PM

I hope I get mine soon! I never received a confirmation, but Rob said he got the payment a couple weeks ago. Anyone get the 160 yet? Glad I ordered mine before the price went up.

tangafish · #63 01/04/2008, 02:16 PM

hope you don't mind me asking in here but from what i have seen i need about 8 - 10" water depth to run the msx200 i want, my sump isn't deep enough, i have a 30 gallon oceanic sump that came with my setup, it only has 2 sections in it. what would you recommend that i do to increase depth to accomodate the new skimmer??

I am assuming i could take some acrylic and add it to the divider i currently have to make it taller but what would be safe to use to to attach it?

luke33 · #64 01/04/2008, 03:07 PM

IMO as long as the pump is not sucking air it has enough water depth.

badazztealcobra · #65 01/04/2008, 04:13 PM

After looking at those pictures, it looks like it will be really productive.... I cant wait to see a 250 with 2 pumps on it....

Only thing I dont like is that it doesnt look like it sits flat because the weight of the pump..... You can see all the skimmate on the one side of the collection cup.... I really think they shouldve made a baseplate for them..... I hope the 250 doesn't lean that much, maybe the second pump will help level it out some....

luke33 · #66 01/04/2008, 04:17 PM

Dude, its on a rocky sand bed ; )

hahnmeister · #68 01/04/2008, 04:26 PM

Say hello to the skimmer that will put alot of other makes in the history books...

luke33 · #69 01/04/2008, 04:29 PM

Yep, ATI's are going byebye as long as price stays like it is.

mg426 · #70 01/04/2008, 04:39 PM

Anyone have the footprint of the 200 extreme handy ???

sjm817 · #71 01/04/2008, 04:43 PM

It great how the Chinese knock off everything like Tunze Streams, skimmers etc. I'm sure the cone skimmer wont be far behind. Hopefully, there will sill be companies left around innovating to get their designs ripped off.

luke33 · #72 01/04/2008, 04:47 PM

I hear ya SJM but lets be honest, not everyone has 500+ to drop into a skimmer. I'm to cheap to ever do that. And we also have to make sure these skimmers don't start changing with generations like they have known to do in the past.

It was posted a while back by Jayson from SWC. It's 11ishx13ish. (Jayson gave more exact numbers, but I don't remember what they are/were)

sjm817 · #74 01/04/2008, 04:55 PM

I get a little discouraged when people are all "happy" about innovators being put of of business when their designs are basically stolen. Who will be left to innovate?

cmersman · #75 01/04/2008, 04:56 PM

Got my xtreme 200 this afternoon...fast shipping is for sure...5 minutes to put it together and drop it in the sump. The collection cup removes easily and it is already pulling out some nasty sump just cycling 200 pounds of rock for the new tank that arrives Monday...
