    Well here is the official response from Coralvue:
    The dimensions you have are of the old models that can with the psk1500. The new dimensions for the Extreme XS200 is 15”x 9.4”x23” with the PSK 1000.

    So I guess my next question is this. How much of an effect would it be if I remove 2 of the 3 baffles/bubbletraps? To fit that skimmer in I would have to remove 2 of the baffles. There is room in the section where he had the fuge, but it has a tall serrated divider, and then the large 12x17 middle section is the return.

    I just researched the Aquamaxx you mentioned, seemed to get good reviews.

    Well the Aquamaxx 200's are back ordered until June, and I can't wait that long. Between the Aquamaxx 150 and the Vertex 180

    Now I'm seeing that the new Super Reef Octopus with the Bubble Blaster pump is about the same dimensions as the Vertex/Aquamaxx for $50-$75 more.
