I am trying to decide weather to get the XF-150 or XF-130 for my 90G SPS tank. Would like to know which one will work out better of the 2. I know the XF-150 is rated up to 800G and the XF-130 is rated up to 100G. Just wondering if the XF-150 would benefit me more than the XF-130? Let me know what you guys think or suggestion.

Thanks
 
I would run the 150 with an SPS tank. I was running the 150 in my 65 mixed reef with 2 vortechs! Mixed reef that would be too much unless you are very careful with coral placement, but for SPS it's great. I now moved to a 120, 4ft long. I run the 150 gyre at 100% pulse mode along with 2 mp40's on the back wall and of course the return at 600gph. It's a mixed reef and I still have spots for LPS that are ok for them.
 
Ah perfect.. I take it the XF-130 would benefit but would need 2 instead of 1
