I've pretty much narrowed it down to the new Vertex Gen 3 IN180 or the Reef Octopus Extreme SX200. I was originally going to go with the RO, but I keep finding conflicting footprint specs. The Vertex has a smaller footprint and is $30 less expensive. To fit the RO I'd have to pull out baffles, and that's a PITA when you can't get the sump out of the stand.:sad: The tank is 135 and the sump is a 40.
Vertex specs:
<span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">IN-180</span></span> <span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> 13.5" x 11"</span></span> <span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> 24"</span></span> <span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> 8" </span></span> <span style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">720lph @ 32w</span></span> <span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> 100-180 Gallons</span></span>
One site list the RO 200 as:
Dimensions: 8.5" x 13.5" x 21.75
Whereas on Coralvue's site:
15″ x 9.4″ x 23″ Height without the cup is 15.5″ Rated up to 200gal.
Thanks
