First I want to say that I really like your setup - great job on the stand. It will look fantastic when you get it finished.
If a ASM G-3 will fit into your sump that is the skimmer that I would recommend. I have used one and they work great. The thing with the size of tank they are rated for I would cut that in half for this particular skimmer. Some manufacturers really over rate their skimmers and IMO ASM is one of them. Their close cousin Euroreef OTOH seems to under rate theirs a little. IMO you can't overskim a tank. It will only take out what is there to take out. I always overskim mine and I think it is a personal choice whether you choose to have a skimmer that is not really worked to capacity - but again it's just my opinion.

Well it's your tank and your decision. Research different skimmers and decide on which one will best suit you, your tank set up, and your budget. That is a good skimmer IMO and does a good job IMO. Others seem to prefer injections type skimmers but I have never tried one. If you are handy there are mods you can do to the ASM skimmers to make them skim even better - check out their website. Others have been very pleased with the Coralife Super Skimmer - another one you might want to research. At the end of the day it is your decision and your wallet!

i saw this one that was included in a acrylic sump by sealife rated for a 200G tank, do these skimmers suck?? also, i measured my stand and the G3 wont fit....but the G2 will. the G2 is rated for a 200g tank. do you think it will do?

ok, i looked up most of the other skimmers that will fit and it seems the G2 is going to be the best for what i need it for, it fits in my sump and under my stand....is a 30g sump enough for this tank?
