Bubble magus Curve 7 vs RO 200 INT.

Gungo · Jan 2, 2018

I have a 120 gal total volume tank, and I am planning to get a new skimmer. Had an Aquamaxx Cones Q3 but its too big for my setup. I am choosing between the Curve 7 or the Reef octopus 150 or 200 Int.. but I am not sure... any thoughts?

Love the Curve

Really like my curve 7. Seems to be keeping up with my 250 gallons total volume although my tank is only about 3 months old and I have a large refugium to help with nutrients. May need to upgrade to curve 9 in the future when my fish mature but atm everything is good. FYI the only other skimmer I have experience with is a Coralife superskimmmer 125 which was terrible imo.

Thanks for your comment! I really went with Reef Octopus.. bought the 150 INT instead of the 200 because of the space. I've been bubble magus user since day one and never gave me a problem but just wanted to try something new.. the RO skimmer is pulling out nasty stuff really well! no matter what direction you go I think they both are great skimmers.
