gate valve mod and a thread wheel mod on 220 and its a great skimmer for the $$$$ but not for anything over 90 Gal.

where are you putting the gate valve? and a threaded wheel mod? do you have a picture by chance?

The Reef Octopus NW-150 seems to vary a lot in price depending on who you get it from. is it worth the $270 - $360 or should a person jump into the better Berlin for the $400

I have a super skimmer on my 75...and it skims great in my opinion for its size...in fact I'd say it's a very efficient skimmer....just not big enough...hehe....I'm a pastor...I don't get paid enough to get a euroreef or something...I picked up my super skimmer 65 brand new at a closeout sale for 30 bucks!!!

Are there any good hang on Skimmers?

in my opinion not compared to the in sump or recirculating ones. i know octopus makes a hang of the back.... dunno anything about it. the cpr and aquac remora are both pretty decent... at least they are in a whole new league compared to seaclone and prizm skimmers.
