    Hello-

    I'm gathering equipment for my eventual 90 tank; and I like the Octopus skimmers.

    Is there any major differences between the older NW 150 and newer ones?

    I ask because I'm thinking of buying a used older model, but I don't want to skimp.

    Thanks for your help!

    Two main differences, I believe:

    1) Better needle wheel impeller - 30% more/finer bubbles (something like that)

    2) Cone neck design - supposed to be better - not sure how or why
