Witch octo skimmer is better

[justin podolan]

Any one out there know what is better to have the octo nw 150
or the octo dnw 150 recirculating skimmer. What does recirculating do for the skimmer?
And would it be better to get a msx skimmer?
thank you all.

They both use the Octo needlewheel pump. I think the design of the dnw150 is better.

Recirculates the water inside the reaction chamber giving more dwell time to remove more contaminants.

They are the same skimmer, different name.
I would consider the Reef Octopus Extreme 160 or 200 over the two you mentioned. Much better pump, reaction chamber design and includes a bubble plate. MSX also offers the Extreme series. I think the MSX is a little cheaper right now.

Get the MSX 160 or 200. Way better than the octo 150 or 200.
