Skimmer ASM or Tunze or Hydor?

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 !

Thanks

OK does anyone have any input on a Euro reef 135?

Or any of the above metioned skimmers.

Thanks Keith

For the last 5 years, I've been running my ASM G3 on about 120 gallons of medium bioload and it's been great. I set mine to skim a bit wet and ran a line for external (sealed) overflow.

I'm still happy with it considering at the time there was nothing comparable for bang/buck. No plans for upgrade but if you go with an ASM, buy an extra impeller for the Sedra pump to keep on hand. I've been lucky and just bought my first replacement but I've heard of others with not such luck...

Use the force. I've heard that helps when making a big purchase decision.

My ASM was a pain in the A$$ to set up but now that I've gotten used to it it works great very happy with it.
