Hello all,

I am pretty much sold on the Reef Octopus for brand. I am just stuck between two choices, listed below. I have a Cade 1200 S2 and it is about 135 gallons (115g display). I was wondering if anyone would have any input. I am leaning towards the Essence since it is newer and has a smaller footprint. I just do not know if it will be strong enough for my tank!

essence s-130 due to smaller size. they both are rated quite similarly for the same sized tanks/bioload. you could benefit from the extra sump space from going smaller in the essence s-130!
