Hi all,
I'm planning a new build with a 130g display and 30g sump. I'm debating protein skimmers and the 2 I am most interested in are:
Reef Octopus Regal 150 INT
vs
Aquamaxx ConeS DCQ-2
I've read tons of positive reviews on the Reef Octopus, the only thing I'm concerned about is it being slightly undersized for the tank. BRS lists it as good for a heavily stocked 100g tank, while the Aquamaxx is rated for a heavily stocked 190g system. I am fairly skeptical on the ratings since the apparent size of the Reef Octopus is larger than the Aquamaxx, but the rating is for half the stocking. Curious to know everyone's thoughts!
