ASM G-3 vs Octo NW 200
I've got a 220 display with a 50 gallon sump, currently running a Octo NW 150 and want to upgrade. I love the Octo NW series but the 200 will fit my skimmer chamber with NO room to spare where as the ASM gives me alittle more leeway,
Both are rated for 250 gallon systems, the ASM is alittle smaller, the OCTO is cheaper by about $80. They are both plug and play where all you do for adjustment is adjust the riser tube(I like this) money is tight as is the skimmer chamber :-D Which would you recommend?

Octo
Bigger body, better pump, easier to mod, better performer P.S. if cash is tioght you can do a meshmod to the impeller and enlarge your inlet venturi airline for around $20 total and it will almost double your skimmers capacity - you will need that in a 220g tank
