Vertex omega 150 vs super octopus 1000 lss

hi everyone..I like to hear your opinions on those 2 skmmers and they both are really great skimmers but don't know which one to choose..thank you..!!

Ive had both and really like them both. I think I like the omega a little moe just because of overall build quality besides the impellar being super whimpy. I dont think you could go won with wither choice but I think the vertex can handle a bigger bioload too.

I used to have the SRO 2000 switched to the vertex 150. By far better skimmer build quality and more gunk out of that thing. Go with vertex. I'm about to get the skimmer head cleaner as it builds up like every 3 days with a thick layer of poop. Just need to work on building a skimmer locker first.

I cheated and took my old skimmer that was dirty. Took the gunk out soaked the impeller in the gunk over night. So in about 24 hours of it running it was like the video. Now its even more crazy and nasty gunk that comes out.
