Avast Marine CS1 or Reef Octopus XS160

[Arkonen]

So I need the hivemind of WAMAS to help me decide on a buildout... I currently have the XS160, and need help deciding on getting a retrofit swabbie for it, or getting the CS1 with the swabbie...   My XS160 has been a champ so I cannot complain in that regard, but I also saw the CS1 can pipe my biopellet reactor right into the input.  Decisions decisions.  What would you suggest?  

 

This will be for a new build thread I will be posting in the next few weeks for a 93 starphire cube I am getting from ERC and a custom stand as well.  I still need to hash out the sump design to fit under this thing as well as an ATO container.

I have a cs-1 on my 93 cube and I couldn't be happier. I haven't added a swabbie yet but it;s in the future plans. I would go with the CS-1 personally since the XS uses the smaller psk600 pump, and the cs uses the 1000. I would think you should get a little more out of it.
