Post MSX 200 or 250

Anyone use or try these skimmers?
- Marine Solutions Online Store

I am thinking about switching to the MSX 200 and getting rid of my AquaC EV-120. Would this be a good upgrade or should I stick to my AquaC?

In my opinion, that wouldn't be an upgrade!!!! Looks cheap and less than comparable to the a AQUA C EV line!!!
Stick with what you have!
Aquarium Specialty
This is what you get if you want to upgrade!!! Check out the Bubble King skimmers and the price tag!!!!!!!

Thanks, the MSX is a copy of the ATI Bubble Master and $300 less. I'll stick with what I have.

I have never heard of MSX before until now. The AquaC skimmers have a great reputation and I personaly would stay with what you have. Luna
