What do you guys/gals think of it for a 180gal fowlr?

From all i have read their Farlee good skimmers.... but if i had the extra $$$$
id go for a ASM

[Limpit]

Do the AMS's require a lot of tuning to get them to work well or are pretty much ready to go out of the box? Also can an ASM be used outside of a sump?
I am thinking about getting the Corallife skimmer and just completed reading a very long thread on another forum about the Corallife skimmer and people had very good things to say about it.

I have read all of the thread you are talking about and agree it can be a good
skimmer.
But on the other end you hear a lot less tuning problems with the ASM
at the same site you will find a long thread on ASM read them both
and decide.

I am an avid ASM fan. As for the Super skimmer, I've heard well. ASM are for in sump use only and are pretty much a "plug and play" skimmer with little more to modify than to decide at which height to put the output pipe(slides higher and lower).

Which forum did you read the review for the Coralife and ASM skimmers?

[Reptoreef]

see ASMskimmer.com for some pretty sweet prices and info as well as a search on reefcentral.com.
