Go with the Ocotpus skimmer. They are build better and are a better buy over the ASM skimmers. With a simple mesh mod, you can improve the performance of the skimmer even more.

Between the Octopus and ASM I would opt for the Octopus as well. A better buy all around. Oh and the larger NW 200 will be a better skimmer.

for your size tank octopus is hard to beat at thier prices. i would go with the 200 version.

if your spending a little more money then i would move up to the das-ex2 but thats around $400
