upgrading skimmer; input please...
 

I'm trying to decide on an appropriate skimmer for my 100gal FOWLR. So let's put it out there: what would you use on a heavily stocked FO of this size?? I want a real work horse but it's been such a long time since I've been in the skimmer market that any input would be great.

I have never tried using a beckett style skimmer so cannot comment on those. If you are prepared to spend the $ and want the best then highly recommend a Bubble King although I believe that Deltec or H&S are close as well. I have tried out a couple of the ASM skimmers (G-3 and G-4X) and they are pretty good. I have seen the Euroreefs in action and they are not bad either.

For the money you can not beat an ASM. Check them out at asmskimmer.com. You can see them in action at OA.

can the asm be externaly plumbed?

I just got my ASM G3 & love it. I don't think you can have it plumbed externally though. It is in-sump.

No good, I've made my sump one big fuge & like to keep it that way.

You might want to look at the Deltec HOB. There is a review in the library under skimmers.

I was thinking about that, but I think the Bullet 2 might work better for my set up...

euroreef or deltec are the way to go DEltec for a hang on too

So you're saying the Deltec H.O.T. out preforms a PM Bullet 2???
I love the Euroreef but my need for an external skimmer kai-boshes them unless I modify the hell out of it.
