Octopus bh100f or AquaC Remora

Which H.O.B. do you think is better? Evidence? I tried to search, but it has been broken for several hours....

I have read a lot of good about the octopus and that it produces a ton of skimmate, i havent heard too much about the remora...

any advice or opinions on which i should get? its for a 30 gallon reef tank, perhaps will find a new home on a 55gallon in spring.

I have an octo in sump on my 75, if the HOB is anything like it, I'd grab one without hesitation.

I have a feeling they will be biased towards the octo, but will also have lots of great info.

I picked my octo bh-100 up for $125.00 from thereefstop.com It took a long time for shipping and then the pump was bad so it took a while for that to be resolved but I still love it.
