Nyos or reef octo regal??

[ontop27]

Cant decide on the nyos 120 or reef octopus regal 150. I need to buy something on amazon because of a giftcard budget is $400. Nyos looks sexy but the videos on the regal ... those bubbles just look amazing. 57 rimless heavy on coral, 6 fish. Eshopps sump. Thoughts??

Following because I too am looking for a skimmer.

I really want to want the nyos but i think once its dirty it will lose its luster.

I bought the NYOS, but had to return it. It has quality issues. It is designed in Germany but manufactured else where.

Issues found with it:

1. Crack in the bubble reactor chamber assembly. It seems the screws were over torqued.
2. Bubble plate is loose and wobbles and cannot be securely attached. The screws are too long. Probably can fix it by sanding off a few cm.
3. The pump attachment is ackward and impossible to screw in straight. The screw holes are off by a few mm.

I read a couple of these stories.. for a premium product they should really address that

I think reef octo is winning in my mind

@melev just recently got Nyos I believe. Maybe he can comment. I'm in skimmer buying mode too, and so far I'm leaning toward a Bubble Magus (though Nyos is still on my radar).

I have the bubble magnus curve 5. And its a great skimmer. Im just the type of person that buys new equipment all the time :)
