Powerheads and skimmer

t5Nitro · 03/03/2007, 09:59 PM

Which to get?
2 koralia #4 (1200 gph) and euroreef rs100 Skimmer
2 koralia #4 (1200 gph) and ASM G-2 Skimmer
2 Tunze 6060 (1500 gph) and euroreef rs100 Skimmer
2 Tunze 6060 (1500 gph) and ASM G-2 Skimmer

Cost on the euroreef is more and rated for less gallons. (probably higher quality)
Cost on the tunze is almost tripple and only 300 gph more (non controllable).

Koralias can be put on a seio controller I think correct?

If possible, can you post your reasons for your pick?
Thanks

ASM skimmers can't even come close to the quality of ER.

especially the new ones with eheims...

So you are saying the RS100 will be fine with around a 125 gallon tank and a 40 gallon sump (holding around 20 gallons?).

I would go with the new Eheim model RS180, wouldn't consider anything smaller than that for your system.

The only euroreef RS180 I found is a SP pump? Where is this eheim one? If it is over 300 dollars I will just go for a ASM then.

Any links to the new one you're talking about?
