![]() It is said that Euroreef skimmers are the best by many in this hobby. You can buy an identicle skimmer to a Euroreef made by ASM (I think) that is cheeper only because it uses different materials. I've seen it in action and would reccomend getting one. It uses a needle wheel pump which is less maintenance than beckets nozzles and more effiecient than old ventury style pumps. Do a google search for ASM skimmers and you'll find them.

![]() I am running an ASM G2 or G2+ or something like that. I find that it is the easiest skimmer to use and works great. Setup was easy. From what I have read on this and other forums on the troubles with getting a skimmer to work proper, I have yet to see any with my ASM. I have had it for 1 year now and it is still going strong

![]() A skimmer is a really good place to spend money in this hobby IMO it very important and makes for a healthy easier to keep reef tank.
My pics would be Aquamedics, Euroreef and ASM get as big as you can afford then a bit more, money well spent! Any skimmer I've seen for $100.00 is a joke, just something for a LFS to add on until you realize the value of a quality skimmer. Dave Edited for spelling sorry Bob! Sorry for the slang my number one picks... |
