 |  ASM G-2 or Coralife Super Skimmer
Ok I have a question to people more familiar with these two types of skimmers. I'm going to get a new one (have a seaclone and it just sucks). My options I'm looking at are a ASM G-2 in sump for up to 200 gallons or a Coralife Super Skimmer for up to 125 gallons. Money isn't the issue here -- I just would like the best of the two.
I have a 72 gallon bowfront with a 20-25 gallon sump/refugium. I would like to know preferences and why and if you have used them personally. The price difference between the two is 100 dollars but like I say money isn't the issue, I have more money than time 
_________
90 gallon with 26 gallon sump/refugium, 2 x 250 MH lighting, 100lbs live rock, 1 - yellow tang,1 damsel, 1 - cleaner shrimp, 1 - coral banded shrimp, 3 - emerald crabs, 2 - porcelin crabs, 6 - peppermint shrimp, 1 - green ricordia, 1 - toadstool, 1 - brittle starfish, 1 - sand sifting star, 100's baby feather dusters,Ass mushrooms, frogspawn, xenia, 1 clam,
6 - Leather coral, Green star polyps,Lime green/orange button polyps,1 huge carpet anenome,various snails/hermit crabs |

i have both of the skimmers just 1 model down on both, and i must say that the asm skimmer kick the crap out of the coral life. not saying the coral life skimmers are junk becasue they are not, the asm is just in a different league. | |

I did go with the coralife -- not because I didn't want the ASM but after measuring the sump area the only one that would fit was the coralife. Anything has to be better than the seaclone I have -- probably work better in there if I just unplugged it | |
