Refugium or skimmer upgrade?

Check out ASM skimmers. OA has them & they're giving people very positive results. Very similar in design to Euro-reef but less expensive materials & waaaay cheaper.

I have read this about the ASM, however, the CS-80 at J&L and the ASM G-1 at OA, are the same price. My display is 50 gallons, with a 25 gallon sump, so I'm assuming that either would be sufficient - am I missing something?

For 75 gallons, the Berlin Skimmer should be good enough, once it is tweaked correctly, it should not require constant tuning, only if you change your water level or put in addatives and such.

But, an ASM or Euro would be better of course.

I would stick with the Berlin, and add a fuge, this is just personal preference.

Thanks - yeah I think I'm leaning towards the refugium, but I'm still thinking about it... A system with a nice skimmer and a bare sump seems more "clean".

Yep, it all depends what you like/want. Both systems can work well. Using both is of course even better if you can do it, but you need the space obviously.
