[regaltang]

got a 75 gallon wanted to know if anyone owned a vertex omega 130 is so what kind of experience do you have with it pros,,cons..

no one has a omega 130?

I do not have it. Ordered it, received it, sent it right back after all the bad reviews I read. Everyone says it is very difficult to dial in and very finicky after water changes, new socks, etc.

I went with Regal RODC 150-SSS very happy with it.

I have the 150, no issues with mine and it works as it should. Clean it once a week during water change and it's back to full production in a few hours. I also don't have a problem with it going crazy after a filter sock change nor do I need to adjust it. It's been on the same sitting as I've had it on my new tank for the last year.

Yeah. All the reveuws for the one 150 are way better than the 130. Popular opinion is that the pump for the 130 is overpowered for the small skimmer size.
