Skimmer selection advice needed! Save me from myself!

[shovelhead91701]

Got to start getting all of my equip. gathered up for the new 250gal. Started on the sump build last night and I want to know what everyone else thinks I should go with for the new protein skimmer. Sump should hold about 60-65gal. and height is not an issue for me.(not under stand) I have really been drooling over that AquaC EV400! :smt007

Too much even for that large of a set-up? Man, what bragging rights for having that sucker! :twisted:

I agree with ASM... however, I would suggest the G4x with an recirc mod. Try pricing the competition on that(Deltec, H&S, EuroReef, etc)! Rob at asmskimmer will definitely treat you well, too...just tell him Reptoreef sent ya.

I am also in the market for a skimmer. I hear this is where it pays off to spend big. What model would you suggest with Euro Reef or ASM. I have a 75 gallon, but am wanting to move up someday(at least 120).

[Reptoreef]

for the price and IMO, equal efficiency, go with ASM all the way... for a 75-120... anything from a G3x up will be great!!!

[zoo-a-holic]

I have heard some great things about ASM as well. i am thinking of going that way for my 90

[UofODuck]

Thanks for the suggestions. I've heard alot of good things about ASM. Should I go with a Recirc and plumb into directly into the overflow?

[Reptoreef]

Effeciency is said to begin @ about 20% greater and up... IMO, why not???

[UofODuck]

Ok....I'm an idiot...what is IMO???

[Reptoreef]

In my opinion... BTW, the best ASM site barr none is www.asmskimmer.com
