Skimmer ASM or Tunze or Hydor?

I have been very impressed and have had very positive customer input with the Hydor Skimmers. I would recommend a model 600.

I ran an ASM G4 on my 230g tank and it worked great. Pulled out lots of gunk and I never had any problems with it.

Anyone have any input on Hydor skimmers?

They seam well built but i have not heard anything about them before.
I would be looking at the 500 model.

I run the Hydor 700 model on my 150g cube and I have to empty the cup every 2 - 3 days. It was extremely easy to setup and tune...almost PNP type of skimmer. I am very happy with it.

Cheers

I seen your build thread looks pretty good.

Anyone else have any info on these Hydor skimmers? Or anything else to recommend in the 400 price range.

I love Tunze skimmers, always had one and now one of my two skimmers is Tunze.
Super quiet, easy to clean, cheep on hydro (unmatched!) and lots of air mixing !

What one do you use? What size of system?

Thanks
