Is 30scfh pretty standard? I thought my buddy and I were getting around 50 with our MSX 200's with the sicce on it last time we tested.

Sweet skimmer pictures!

Your too much Chris! I must say I do have to agree though - those ATB's are a work of art.

On a msx 200 30scfh i pretty standard with the standard msx pinwheel. 50 scfh is quite a bit on a 200 but it can be done. Really its a bit too much air on the 200. I would say 30 to 40 scfh is good for the 200 to run at. More air doesnt always mean more skimate. You really need a well balanced skimmer. The msx 200 is pretty well balanced in the above mentioned range.

Thanks Mojo - I have a meshmod on it - hence the higher numbers. I would guess that it is running in the 30-40's. I just remember that it was higher than 30, so that is why I asked. Thanks for the reply.

After talking with Chris, I'll probably upgrade down the road to the new Deluxe. Just need to wait a little while and grow out some stuff!
