Which sump to use

[Chicago-quicksilver]

Hi Everyone, will be soon moving my tank contents from my Red Sea 250 to a Deep Blue 80 and I have a choice between two sumps and not sure which one I should go with. My choices are a Trigger Systems Crystal 36 or an eShopps RS-200, any pros or cons to either. The filter socks for the eShopps look like they would perform better and are washable. This is my first sump setup and I want to be sure that I choose the right one. I plan on running a refugium in the center. Thanks in advance

Welcome to R2R!
I personally use the trigger crystal sump and really enjoy it. Mine is the 30 though.
But I've had my eye on the 36's with my new stand

Thanks, can't believe I didn't find this site earlier.
Both sumps appear to be similar and I think I'm leaning towards the Trigger for the extra space.

You will need more than the socks that come with the sump. The 3 that came with my Trigger were washable. I have roughly 30 socks I've accumulated over the last few years. I only have to wash socks about every 2 months or so. .

Both are used and the trigger system needs the socks, the eShopps one comes with extra that are all cleaned and ready to go. Attached is what the Trigger and eShopps look like.
