asm or euro-reef for a 55g sps reef

[SuRFeR BoY]

ok i have been looking at asm and euro-reef skimmers. i am going to have to work something out to make it fit it in my sump :biglaugh: anyways i narrowed it down to either the asm g1x or the euro-reef rs80. can anyone help me out? which will perform better? does anyone reccomend any other skimmer around the same price and performance? thanks everyone

Asm is a great skimmer. I currently have a ASM g2 for sale if you are interested. Been running on my 90 SPS for 1.5 years.

Just put a Euroreef CS80 on a 55. Bought it from a MR member. For the short time that I've had it, I'd recommend it.

do you get alot of skimmate? and what is your bioload?

 

[SuRFeR BoY]

no on else uses these skimmers?

ER is better than ASM, quality wise & performance wise.

Right now I'm skimming wet. 6 fish in a 55 crammed with softies and lps.
I feed pretty heavy. You should be fine. On larger tanks I like my beckett.

i like beckett skimmers alot but cant really afford one right now.. looks as if i am going to be purchaing a euro reef.. i was reading that the rs80 can handle a large bioload in a 55 gallon.. i would like to add a few more fish to my tank. (maybe) i barely feed my fish now they feed off of my live rock.. thanks for all the help everyone
