Omega 150 is the best for the price imo

IMO yes, I'm running one at home on a 150g system and it handles it perfectly

Last I recall from your build is your tank isn't really stocked yet, might be a bit of a premature statement.

I'm not sure it's big enough for a stocked 150 gallon, a 6" body with a 19W pump doesn't sound like much. That combined with that skimmer being the replacement for the IN100 tells me it'll be on the small side for a 150 gallons. Looks really good otherwise but I'd wait for the release of the next size up, probably the Omega 200. Plus first gens are always a bit a risk for reliability, the fact they only released one model suggests a form of beta testing.

Mike has a really nice skimmer for sale yes more money but in terms of reliability it could save you in the long run.
