Hey Guys,
Was wondering if you could help me real quick with this. Im trying to decide between the Reef Octopus 150SSS and the 110SSS, This is going to be for a 37 gallon reef tank with a 10 gallon sump. I know the 150SSS has more filtration power, but im trying to conserve as much space as possible in my sump for my fuge. The dimension difference between the 110 and 150 are like 2 inches (2 inches more for my sump basically. I see the the bioload rating for the 150sss according to BRS is:
BRS Recommended Tank Size:
Light Stocked - 160 Gallons
Medium Stocked - 110 Gallons
Heavily Stocked - 65 Gallons
And for the 110SSS
Light Stocked - 120 Gallons
Medium Stocked - 75 Gallons
Heavily Stocked - 40 Gallons
Should I trust the manufacturer rating (which I see is much higher, 60 Gallons for 110SSS and 120 Gallons on the 150SSS heavy bioload) Or should I trust Bulk Reef Supply's filtration rating?
