Awesome! I'll give it a shot! Thanks.Given you have limited sump space yes. Brs stocking options also always lead you to spend more money on a bigger skimmer so if it was me I’d go with that one

I'm looking at the the RO150ext for this reasonI suggest researching the advantages of a “recirculating” skimmer, which tend to be much easier to dial-in, for one being unaffected by fluctuations in water height in your skimmer. Other than that, There are so many choices out there it can make your head spin! lol.
How do you like the Life reef vs a Reef octo ?Reef Octo since 2007
OO I do have a 36 inch LifeReef one too. Naw that wouldn't fit in a 20 gallon sump.
They are very different. I like them equally well but for different reasons. They both work well, The Reef Octos come apart to clean. The bottom of a 36 inch Lifereef is unreachable. The Lifereef breathes through the cup and never overflows. The Reef Octo does spectacularly. You can use about any pump on a LifeReef. I changed mine to a larger dc pump.How do you like the Life reef vs a Reef octo ?
The VS3 models of the Lifereef come apart so you can get to the bottom to clean it though mine is only 24 instead of 36. I have a vs3-24 on a 40 breeder with a 40 sump. I use the Mazzei injector instead of stock. It replaced a SCA 302, when I first put it in it pulled the nastiest sludge I've ever seen filling the cup every 2 or 3 days. Now it's about a week. It is friggin huge though so space will be a concern. I like the fact that I can use any pump I want and it can be used on bigger tanks by adding another section to the body.They are very different.
