Reef Octopus nwb 150 or avast marine cs1 for heavily stocked 65 reef
As the title says, which one would you guys recommend? Or is there another skimmer around 200 or so that would be better?

You won't be dissapointed with Reef Octopus's NWB150.I know nothing however about Aqua-C Skimmers.

I would stay away from the aqua c not that it's a bad skimmer just kind of old. Reef octopus is nice because it's so popular you will be able to find parts for it easy if need be. There is a reason so many people have them.

I run a couple aqua c on a large tank but if I could swing it I'd go for a reef octopus in a heart beat.

which ever you way you might want go is fine but just keep in mind that your skimmer should be able to handle heavy stock tank, always get little overkill for your system this way if you decide to go big it will be able to suppourt your future upgrades as well. imo i have made these mistakes in past and now i have garage full of stuff lol

Lol ya exactly, that's why I am trying to make sure the nab 150 can handle a heavily stocked 65. Otherwise I'll get something else
