Omega 150 is the best for the price imo

am seriously looking into this one, but will it actually handle 150 gallons easily or will it be underpowered

IMO yes, I'm running one at home on a 150g system and it handles it perfectly

Last I recall from your build is your tank isn't really stocked yet, might be a bit of a premature statement.

I'm not sure it's big enough for a stocked 150 gallon, a 6" body with a 19W pump doesn't sound like much. That combined with that skimmer being the replacement for the IN100 tells me it'll be on the small side for a 150 gallons. Looks really good otherwise but I'd wait for the release of the next size up, probably the Omega 200. Plus first gens are always a bit a risk for reliability, the fact they only released one model suggests a form of beta testing.

Mike has a really nice skimmer for sale (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=99467) :wink: yes more money but in terms of reliability it could save you in the long run.
