ASM Skimmer vs Euro-reef

[Delphinus]

I run a G1X on a 90 and I'll be running a G3 on my new 115g cube (if I ever get the plumbing fixed on it). I love these skimmers. My G1X is no beckett in terms of performance but where it trumps the beckett is the consistency of foam production, recovery time after a tank feed, and sheer ease of cleaning. Whereas it took me up to 5 minutes to wrestle apart my beckett for cleaning it takes me 30 seconds on the ASM. It's brilliant.

Euroreef skimmers are a little more money, but they seem to be a little more solidly built. The pumps and basic design are the same. If you have the extra cash go for the Euroreef, but if economy is a concern then consider the ASM. Either way you choose, you won't regret it.

I haven't put my G3 into use yet so I can't comment on its performance but I'm sure it will be decent. I'm modifying it to be recirculating and fed by gravity via the tank overflows, once I have some of the wrinkles figured out to my plan this ought to be a pretty slick setup I think.
