Down to three protein skimmers

[wmu2007]

I have been doing some research on a few protein skimmers for m 210 FOWLR tank and I have narrowed it down to three: ASM G-5, G-6, or (leaning towards) Euro-reef RS250. I do not know as much about the ASM models so if anyone is using one/has used one please give me as much information as you can to make my decision the most informed one possible. Thank you.

I vote for Euro Reef

I just replaced my ER with a Reeflo Orca 250. Thats what I would get.

Euro-Reef for sure, just went through the same looking for a skimmer for my new setup and between ASM, Octopus and Euro-Reef I decided on the ER and couldn't be happier!

Out of those would also go ER.

euro is getting ready for some changes wait until they make there BIG announcement wed check the sponser forum

I have a asmg6 it works pretty well, I did the gate mod and rec mod..for the price it is a decent skimmer

[wmu2007]

If the euro-reef announcement is not a big deal tomorrow, looks like I'm going to order the RS 250. Anyone have any suggestions as to where to order from? The cheapest I've found so far is $475 plus 13.13 shipping from aquariumsupplycompany.com.

I ordered mine from premiumaquatics.com, they price matched the best deal I could find on them and had it instock when I needed it.

Customer service rocks from Premium Aquatics too which of course, is always a plus.

I have a RS-135 and love it.

I have dealt with plenty of ASMs and don't think I'll be dealing with anymore. I'd get the ER I prefer the recirc models myself. But like others said the reeflo orcas or what about DAS. Good skimmers, low electricity etc etc. So many options.

Is the RS-250 bettor than the new extreme 250 with the sicce pump? also, does the RS line come with an external skimmer?
I'm debating between a euro250 and a MT-HSA 250.

[wmu2007]

Down to the RS 250 and the ATI Bubble Master 250. I have gotten a number of different opinions on the two and I guess it comes down to who likes what. But has anyone tried both and noticed a difference? I know the ATI BM is more money, but I'm looking for quality and I've heard great things about both.

You should go with the Euro Reef - good skimmers.

[asonitez]

try a aqua-euro classic 250 i just ordered mine for 218.00 shipped. It looks to be an incredible skimmer.

[VaderWS6]

Why not look into an Xtreme 200 or 250?

[b16drag]

I'm with Vader on this one, why not check out the MSX Xtreme skimmers... its like the clones of the bubble master even with the Sicce Pumps!

I heard through the grapevine that the sicce pumps have problems afer running for six months!!!

I have the ASM G3 and couldn't be happier with it. But the Euro Reef is a much better skimmer... but oh the cost.
