Vertex has a great product and reliability behind it

Cadlights is the new boy on the block I run the 1150 and don't have any complaints with it but because it hasn't been around a long time hard to form a long term opinion on them

Started a review here of the 1150 with pictures
http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=99759

I've been emptying the collection cup an average of every 3 days its been pulling lots of solids out and very stinky to boot I have been running it for just over a month and a half.

The Cadlights is very user friendly comes pre assembled just plug in and start using and easy to adjust the flow

I'd buy the cad over the in-series. Vertex is good just not that skimmer

I'm about 90% positive that vertex stop even producing the In100 so finding parts or warranty might be a pain.
