Hey Jim,

Thanx for the advice. Ya, the Bullet would be my first choice, after reading some of your comments on them from some previous threads, but for one thing. (There always seems to be one thing). I understand that, being a Beckett skimmer, they are prone to clog. I have to look long term on this. I'll be going back to sea in a few years and I need the most independent skimmer I can get. I think the ASM G3 fits most of the criteria I require. (Height; Needle Wheel; Footprint; Plug n' Play; In Sump). If I had a Bullet and two days after I walk out the door and a small snail were to clog the Beckett nozzle, that would mean a full 26 days of no skimming before I returned home again. I read some comments in a previous thread about going for a skimmer double the rated size for one's tank capacity. This sounds like good advice to mean and I'd do that if it weren't for the height issue. So, as far as the ASM G3 goes...I think that is the only sacrfice I am making. But it beats what i have now.
In short, ya, if one can be there to maintain a Bullet at least once a week that gets my vote.

Thanx again and cheers,
