MSX 200/Octopus Extreme 200???

[HawgFan]

what is the difference in these two skimmers?

I was going to order the MSX 160 based on limited sump space, but I have decided to make room and get the MSX 200, well I looked around and I kept finding the Octopus Extreme 200 and all the specs look to be the same. I know the MSX is made in Canada. I don't know. Just wondering what the difference was.

Also when I posted a thread about help with choosing my skimmer several said that a bonus on getting the MSX 200 was that it had free shipping. Does anyone know anything about that?

Biggest difference is the MSX comes with better pinwheels. If you want to run the PW, the MSX will work better because it pulls more air. If you run meshwheels, not much difference, but it is nice to have the option. Other than that, you get Jeff and Rob only if you get an MSX :D

HawgFan: Both skimmers are made in China, other than that, what Scott said :)

In order to take advantage of the free shipping, use coupon code MSX when checking out, it will remove the shipping charges.
