Question on ASM G3

Phillybean · 09/13/2006, 01:27 PM

I'm running a 75 gallon, 33 gallon sump and 10 gallon refiguim (I can never spell that right...let alone pronouce it). I'm going to have a 100 lbs of live rock, 150 lbs of sand and mostly LPS corals. I'm also going to have a large bio load. I want a school of 5 chromis, 2 percs, jawfish, blenny, gramma, hippo and yellow tang. (I know everyone says no to that but, thats another subject)
I'm leaning towards the ASM G3, can I get some feedback on that?

i have a 75 gallon, 20 fuge, 30 sump and it works great, just make sure you have room for it in your sump. i had the asm g1 and i didnt feel like it was doing the job so i upgraded to the G-3 and i couldnt be happier... except now im thinking of doing the recirc modification to see if i could pull out even more gunk.

I think that will be manageable. I have 2 G3s on my 150.

I have the G3 as well. Works great on my 72bow with 29gsump. I think the G3 is good for up to a 120 with a normal bio load. (and that's 120g of fish).

I use a G3 on my 150 with 40 gal sump. It works great, I originally wanted the G4, but someone advised me I should go with a G3. Wished I hadn't listen to him because I don't feel as though it is pulling enough gunk. I would highly recommend this skimmer though. Worked great for me.

A G3 will work just fine for you.
