Aquamaxx hob 1.5 vs reef octopus hob

Which do you Guys recommend. It’s for a 30g long mixed reef with a maroon clownfish and dotty back, possibly more fish added later on

I use the AquaMaxx on my 75 gallon, it's great, no idea about the reef octopus.

A lot of questions lol but Is it quiet ? How long have you had it? What’s your livestock like ?

It's very quiet, I've been using it for a year now. I have tons of livestock, take a look at my build thread.

I was actually just looking at it lol. Very nice tank. Thanks for the input.

I just got the aquamaxx 2 months ago for my 32, I chose the aquamaxx based on the all the good reviews I found about it online. It has performed perfectly just like the reviews said.

I have no idea for reef octopus.

Ive been using the Aquamaxx for almost 3yrs now and it has been fantastic! Its in a 20g sump for a 40b tank. It is stocked well and fed well. I will recommend that you do a complete cleaning of the skimmer every 3 months the ensure best performance and longevity. I purchased an in-sump version for another system because i liked the HOB so much.

I cant speak for reef octopus either. Their product may be just as good but my experience with aquamaxx will make me a continued customer.

I have used Reef Octo hob 100 on a 33 long for a couple years Love it great skimmer. However that was in a school, classroom the internal pump is a safety feature I am very interested in for my AT HOME 40 breeder. Wet Carpet = lost tank or Divorce... LOL.
