Octopus NW 150 or 200?

if you have room in your sump it couldn't hurt to go with the 200 but the 150 would be fine for ya.

I think I'll just go with the NW200 just in case I get a bigger tank in the future  |

Paul, A 55 gl sump should be fine. My 30 gl sump is 12", which is probably the same as the 55. Mine is also big because i have the gate valve mod on it.
