Looks good guys! They are super nice pump's huh. Amashun is running one in 220v too so its quiet either 110v or 220v. The air pull on 220v is 80scfh though so its not as much as the 90+scfh the 110v pulls.

I put an askoll on my euro reef rs 250 and man does it rock. I love that pump.

Yep, the askoll works great on the ER250. Its a HUGE upgrade!

Where can you get just the askoll pump? I have the MSX 250 with the sicce on it.
I was planning on adding a second sicce, but it might be a better plan to upgrade to the askoll instead.

The askoll's are a much better pump than a sicce.

Yes you can get just the pump. Best move I ever made was to quit playing with the mesh and Sicce pumps.

You need to talk to Luke at Reef Filtration He is a great guy and will take care of you.

The 250a has been running for a couple months now. I cant express enough how quiet and vibration free the Askoll is. Its fuss free, and likes water levels from 6 to 8.5 inches with the wedge pipe wide open. Thanks for the hookup Luke @ Reef filtration, this thing is a beast!

Wow--nice looking tank

The 250A has my vote for the best skimmer available for large tanks. :wink::bigsmile::smile::tongue:

Dont leave out the big brother to the 250a....... The 300a is also a monster that I love. I currently have it in around 130 gallons of water "over skimming" my curing Marco rock. The 300a will go live in a 300DD tank on March 6th....
