    Reef Creation MR-1 or a Reef Devil? I have a Reef Devil Deluxe & it works great, but I would go with the MR-1. It's a lot easier to clean.

    Really? I don't do squat to my reef devil. Just clean it once a month, but its a pain to clean the gunk on the foaming tower section. I'm still trying to make a tool for that.

    well everyone thank you for your time i settled my problem easily.. i just scored a Euro Reef CS6-1 with a new pump for 125, sounded like a good deal everyone seems to love euro reef, is this enough for my tank ? 72g
