Bought a reef Octopus NWB-SSS and it's a beast. Same body style as the bk you have without the price. Out performs the Omega hand down

The 150 is rated for 210g, I think that's pushing it with a 6" chamber at 21" height. But yes, probably comparable to the mini 160 at a much nicer price. Would be nice if there was a model a bit bigger, say 8" diameter. But yes, this is something I'd look at. Thanks

Wait a minute...... Some of you have a MONEY Tree?!? What the..... It doesn't matter if it's dead. I'm amazed some of you had one to begin with. I want one. I'm doing something wrong here.

Christy had a money tree. It died. I don't. Never did. I have, instead, a bill pit. All my money goes in it. Once in a while the dog digs some up and I get to spend it on my hobby. A tree would be nice

Final thoughts on this (unrelated) topic:

Understood.

- I want a dog that can dig up some $ ....even if it's sporadic and on occasion.

- I'm open to the concept of....I believe the term is....."Sugar Momma"

- I may be being presumptuous but I believe Aquattro is open to the concept of a "Skimmer Benefactor".

That would be an accurate presumption

I'm going to throw my 2 cents in. Lifereef. Give Jeff a call and tell him what you need.

They seem a little complex, thumbscrews, external and loud pumps. Might need more room than I have to dedicate to a skimmer, but I'll poke around his site.
