CSS 65 Worth Upgrrading

Schumacher · 02/27/2006, 10:07 PM

Im new to RC but been at Nano-Reef for a longtime. Would it be worth the cash to upgrade my CSS 65 to a ASM G1X with ricirc. mod? Would be about 350$ for me to spend on the skimmer and sump. Do you think the CSS could keep up with a bioload of 6 fish in a 29gallon. The tank has been set up for six months without fish. Are their any mods worth doing to a CSS? Any Ideas are valued thanks! Sorry for all the questions.

I had the css65 on a heavly load 40 gallon and it was awesome imo its not worth it to spend all that extra money on the asm

there are some mods that can be done to the css but no real reason to mine worked like a champ with no mods whatsoever just used what came in the box

never

I run it real dry and shut it down for a while when doing anything drastic or doing a feeding of brine or mysis

note i no longer have this skimmer i have moved into a larger tank and for the time being am running a berlin turbo but am trying to figure out how to make a the css 220 work without hanging it on the tank really wanna go insump this time and my stand is too short but i will always be and still am a huge fan of the css even though i may have to go another route
