diffferences between 9005 and 9010

Well besides the 9010 being rated for more, it seems like Roger prefers to 9010 a lot more than the 9005.

I only have a 75G tank. Have some SPS and will stock lots of fish. But being that the 9005 is rated for over 100G, should it work well in a stocked 75G?

It will, it just is a question of economics. The 9005 does not include the sump kit. The 9010 does. If you will use the skimmer in sump now or in the future, the difference is only about $20 by the time you get the sump kit so it just makes more sense, $20 is a small price for the stronger pump and bigger cup. The 9005 is really for in tank use, it does a good job it just is a matter of how you plan to use it.
