Asm mini g or coralife super skimmer 220

N3hihz · 10/07/2013, 05:42 PM

Hi all,
I'm new and trying to see which skimmer would work better for me. I'm torn between the 2 they're both at the same price just wondering which one would work better for my 45g cube. Leaning toward coralife ATM.

I'm worried about over skimming since coralife is rated for 220G

Any input would be great
Thanks

I'll give my vote for the ASM as I have a c3 and love it. Never tried the Coralife.

Coralife skimmers are not worth the money. The ASM would be the better choice.

So ASM Mini would out perform the CSS 220 even tho its rated 75G va 220G? They're both the same price =\

ASM all the way...

All I run on my tanks...

I've used the MINI-G, the asm G1X, the G3, The G4X...

All GREAT and easy to use skimmers!

Coralife skimmers have a bad reputation and are extreme underperformers. Basically they are really crappy.

How do you really feel about them?!!!
...but seriously there is no comparison between the two.

I had a "superskimmer" many years ago. what a piece of junk.

I recently got a asm g2 for my 120 and couldn't be happier. If the performance of the g2 is any indication, it will be money well spent.

Thanks guys. I actually for an ASM G3 for a great price but it was an overkill for my 45cube. Tried to make it work but didn't happen. Going with the ASM MIni G. Picking it up Friday. Hopefully I will start cycling next week.
