I'm considering an Eshopps RS-100 or RS-200 sump for my new 90g build. Planning to use either an AquaC EV-180 or A Vertex IN-100 skimmer with it.

Thoughts, opinions, recommendations??

I have the 75CS and it all runs fine with a Danner return pump. Only bad thing, they leave no room if you wanted to add a refugium. That is my current dilemma. Good luck...

I have the RS-75. Great design. I fit 2 heaters, pump for phosban reactor,pump for UV sterilizer and Octopus Extreme 160 protein skimmer in it. I run a Mag Drive 7 and it just fits in the pump return area. The sponge filter removes any air bubbles created before the water hits return pump.

I am also useing the RS-75 with a mag 9.5 GT is right there is just enough room for the pump. Dr foster has them for $106.00.If you have the room go with RS-100 you can fit more goodies in it. Also if you are going with the vertex IN-100 make sure you ask for the gen 2 verson the newer model they made some nice adjustments on them.
