Skimmer for 120g

Ok, I'm looking for a skimmer (in sump) for a new setup. It's going to be a 120g, w/40g sump. I have a budget of up to $240. I heard that I shouldn't skimp here. I was looking at the Red Sea Prism, but have read that it can be a bit touchy and difficult to setup. I really don't want to upgrade later on. Any suggestions?

I definitely woundn't go with a Prism on a tank that size.

Since you have a sump, get one that can go in it.

For that money, I suggest a Turbo-Flotor or a Euro-Reef 'ES' Series off the top of my head.

 

The LFS recommended the ASM G2 dia 6.5", ht 21.25", footprint 10"x11", sedra 3500 pump.

I guess ASM used to be w/ EuroReef but they split off from them w/ their own design. Their models are modeled from EuroReef.

Not sure but they sound eatable. ;D

 

I'll let you know how they work once I get it setup.

 

Forget about the prizm skimmers, they suck are noisy and need constant adjustment. Go with the Remora skimmers. Check out wetwebmedia.com and see what they have to say about skimmers.

 

i have the asm g2 skimmer. right now there isn't a whole lot being skimmed, i guess because i'm still cycling and all.

 

Thats ok let in run. Most skimmers have a breakin period from 1-3 weeks sometimes
