Bubble King mini160 gen3 used VS. vertex omega 150 new
So they are pretty much almost the same price (not new obviously), Which one would I be better with for a 93 gallon medium to heavy stocked mixed reef with a 30 gallon sump..... I've been trying to do so much research and really am torn

If it were me, I'd go with a lightly used BK over the Vertex but I'm partial to BK as I know first hand their quality.

I just realized The omega 150 height is 22" My 93 cube stand is only 24" in height.... Is this going to be a major problem to fit a skimmer underneath? How many inches do I need to remove collection cup
