Whats the difference from the reef octo 100 and the clasic 1000? Just the size of tank and bio load it can handle right?

Different designs
100 pump goes inside aquarium
1000 pump is mounted underneath skimmer body.

1000 is better in my opinion

Vertex Omega 150 Protein Skimmer
Amazingly quite and takes good care of my overfeeding little hands of my kids like a champ.

I LOVE that RE sump!! I opted for white (mine is a smaller model) but that gray is making me regret my decision! What skimmer/model is that? How do you like the BRS roller mat? Is it much better than filter socks? How has your experience been? What size tank is this filtration on? And what all are you using for filtration? Sorry for all the questions, I just really really like that sump/filtration you got there, making me curious. Perhaps you have some build thread? Thanks!

The Sump was a custom unit to fit the roller matt from Advanced Acrylics (72Lx36Wx24H)
The roller mat is a custom unit from HP Aquaristic that handles 2600 GPH, the system is 600 Gallons. I love the roller mat I started out with one of the small BRS units and wanted to go to a complete system solution, I am not sure if there are any other units in the USA like it currently.
I have build thread on my local forum.
