    Yep! I love it. I have the DNWB-200. Internal/External recirculating skimmer. Cheaper than anything else in this size, and works VERY well. Almost a perfect clone of some of the smaller and newer Euroreefs.

    How are you feedin that skimmer Tech? Are you plumbed off the overflow or from a pump? I've been lookin at the octo recirc also for my 40g build. I haven't decided yet. Had my eye on the Octo extreme 160.
