Reef Octupos NWB150 vs 150INT classic ? Differences

[ash9965]

In looking at numerous online retailers some list the reef Octopus NWB150 and others the 150INT classic. They appear to be the same . Am I overlooking anything or are they in fact identical? Thanks in advance for any comments.

Thanks but I was asking about the 150NWB VS the 150 INT not the 110 ?

Yeah I caught that after I hit submit, my apologies.

No worries I am surprised there have not been more questions about this

From what i've seen, there is no difference. they use the same pump, have the same footprint. The only thing I can see is that the NWB150 is recommended to be in 6-7 3/4 inches of water, and the 150INT is recommended to be in 7-9 inches of water. That is literally the only difference I can find. Tried calling Coral Vue to ask a representative but good luck getting one of them to answer the phone....
The other thing I just noticed is that the NWB-150 claims to have an OTP 2000 pump and the 150INT Classic has the Aquatrance 2000 pump according to Foster and Smith and Bulk Reef Supply.
