G4 Skimmer

Hi,

Is a ASM G4 skimmer too much for a 120 gallon reef tank? Or should I stay with a G2

No such thing as over skimming when you can adjust the ASM skimmers like you can. If you ever plan on upgrading it will not hurt to have a bigger skimmer ready to go.

My fish store gave me couple of options for me, My sump size is 30 gallon, If I want to go with a G3 or a G4 skimmer, I will not able to set up a refugium.

The other option go with a G2 skimmer, which can be fit into a the drain chamber and use the second chamber as the refugium.

Whats the best set up to go with? Apprecite any advise?

Can you just move the baffles to accomidate the bigger skimmer and still have a refugium? I would think a 30 gallon sump would be plenty big enough for both.
