On the dangerden website for the maze 3 it says next to processor style lucite top or copper top...whats this mean and which one would be better? Also, what kind of fitting type is better....chrome, brass, polypropylene?

the lucite top is the clear top and the copper top is....the copper top. if you get the lucite top go with the poly barbs and if you go with the copper then brass or chrome barbs it doesnt matter.

The copper top also has more thermal mass alowing time to shut down if there is a pump failure
