Hello everyone, I'm in the process of up grading my skimmer, currently running a pro-clear 350. I have a 220 mission tank with mix corals and fish any suggestion would be appreciated, does anyone run a trigger sys skimmer........

ASM G5 Or one of the large RO models

Red Sea 2000 · 09/04/2006, 02:01 PM

ASM 5 is too tall 36" not enough room underneath the cabinet. The max i can go is about 26" tall..... what the difference between asm g4 plus and asm 5 ???

Red Sea 2000 · 09/04/2006, 02:07 PM

OH did some quick research g4 plus is rated for 400-gal. asm 5 rated for 700-gal. any other difference???

Do you have a budget?

Red Sea 2000 · 09/04/2006, 04:37 PM

Trying to keep the budget between $400-600........

Then ASM will probably be your best bet. They have a G4 w/ sedra 9000 that only 24" tall.

Has anyone had any experience with reef octopus.......

Lots of people have on here. I saw an ASM G4+ running on a 220 on saturday at my LFS. That thing is a beast .

I'm strongly considering the g4 plus skimmer would love to see a picture of the skimmer in action....
