I went to the LFS to order a Reef Octopus Regal 150SSS and they recommended the Eshopps X-160. In reading reviews, I like the included overflow cutout on the Regal. the five speed settings. The LFS suggests the Sicce pump on the X-160 is quieter than the Direct Current pump of the Regal and commented "no need to change speeds, turn on the skimmer full speed and let it run". The air silencers look the same.
Suggestions?
