ive got a 90 gal as well. id like to have the msx-200 too, but my sump isn't big enough. that is of course, when the manufacturer says "footprint", they mean you sump as to be atleast that size.
im more or less reduced to the 150. it still is rated for a tank twice my size, so i should be ok, right?

Get the MSX 160. It is plenty for your 90gal. It also uses the same pump as the 200 just smaller body and has a much smaller footprint.
I had the MSX 200 and it should be noted that the set-up on the MSX skimmers can be a little painstaking. I got mine back in March and at that time the mesh jobs on the pumps were pretty sloppy and needed to be redone or tweaked to get the desired performance. Once you get them set-up properly they work "extreme"ly well.
