Octopus skimmer question

[highland135]

I am looking at getting a new skimmer for a 40g breeder. I am in the process of adding a sump and want the skimmer in the sump. I am looking at the octopus NW-110. It says it is good up to 150g, but I was wondering if this would be over kill. I saw a couple of people had octopus skimmers and any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks Mac

LOL the octopus thats on my 40 breeder is rated for a 475 gal tank (pacific coast 3000 aka octo nw-200 with a bigger pump)......guess overkill is in the eye of the beholder.

I just bought the same skimmer for my 90. After doing some research I have found that depending on what site you look at it is rated from 90 gallon to 250 gallon. If you order one I got mine at aquacave.com. I ordered it late sat. night. they shipped it monday evening and it was at my door tues. at 1:45pm. cheap and extremely fast.
