Hey guys, I am trying to decide between the Vertex Omega 130 or the Reef octo Essence 130. Anybody have experience running either of these? Thanks!

I would go with the vertex better pump and build quality

The Omega 150 is an option as well if you plan on going bigger any time soon.

Not planning on upgrading anytime soon and thats also too big for my sump.

That's what i was leaning towards but the Reef Octo has smaller footprint and can save me space. But I know Vertex is quality stuff!

How about Nyos? I had Omega 150, but its just too big for my sump

Look at vertexs lower priced stuff. Same pumps, same build quality. Somatic, im pretty sure theg have internal pumps.
