asm skimmer

[slim_jim989]

ive been trying to find a good skimmer for my tank. 100 gal with about 10 gal in the sump. ive been reading and looking at the Asm G2 skimmer i know its rated for 200 gal but i might get a bigger sump later on. is there any other skimmers that are up to the par and wont break the bank thanks in advance

For a 110g tank. You can't beat the MSX or SWC 160($270) or $10 more for the 200.

You are really better off buying something like roscoe suggested. The asm skimmers are pretty crappy.

I have the SWC 200 and it rocks! It pretty much plug and play the easiest skimmer I have ever used.

[colin779]

[slim_jim989]

[colin779]

Sweet deal =) I just filed mine, 8-14 days. Which means i can finally put a door on my stand and order new lights =)

 

[slim_jim989]

yeah i need to buy another light and found a sweet deal on CL so i might be upgrading my tank to a 120 but that skimmer wil still be doing good. it withstands up to 175 with a heavy bioload maybe get a 55gal tank to make a new sump lol
