Really debating a Maxspect Aeraqua Duo for my 135gal system. It makes it very hard to spent $700 on a skimmer I’ve never seen in person, or hear much about, but people have had good things to say about it. The website says good for 100-300 gal, but that seems like a crazy wide range. Maybe it has a wide range due to its ability to recirculate on one side?

My old Octo 110 classic is just not keeping up. I love Reef Octopus. However, I feel the Octo Regal 150int may still be a bit undersized? No other larger Octo skimmer will fit in my sump.The skimmer and filter fleece is my only means of nutrient export. I’m trying to keep it simple

Granted $700 is a lot of money, but you seem to get a lot of features not present in other high end skimmers.

This currently mixed reef is going on 2 years and has a medium-ish bio load for now, but I plan on stocking a bit heavier once I find a solution for my slowly creeping upwards nutrients. I’m limited to a space 15”x9.5.

enough with my rambling, what are your experiences or opinions? Thanks!
