ASM G3 or Vertex 180 or EuroReef?

[PolandSpring]

Hey guys.. I was just wondering what type of skimmer i should buy. I have a 110gal system (90 gal main tank) mixed reef sps dominated. I am looking to spend anywhere from $200 - $300 (If i have to i will go to $350) I have an idea of 3 that i wil consider, which are the ASM G3(With an upgraded pump), Vertex 180, or the Euroreef.. All skimmers have to be in water and its height cant be above 24 inches.If anyone has any other skimmers that they think will be better, feel free to tell me

I forgot to add that i also need the one the makes the LEAST NOISE POSSIBLE because my tank is in my room and i want to be able to go to sleep!
Also, at the moment, i am using the Octopus Skimmer nw-200

there was a thread with someone selling a ASM G3 with te upgraded 7000 pump. I have a regular ASM G3 and i have no complaints.

yah i know i talked to him already about that.. i just want to see other peoples thoughts on the skimmer before i buy the asm g3 with the upgraded pump

im going to buy the euro pretty soon like the new "vs" series, some of their specs surpases some of that of the bm, for less than 1/3 of the price...

They all work using the same way, the euroreef is going to be better built which is what your paying for.

Isn't the ASM G3 a little over 24" (I think 26" for some reason), and then taking the cup off adds additional height needed

I have an ASM G3 and it is 24 inches in height itself so it will not work under your stand since you need at least another half inch clearance to remove the collection cup.

I have an ASM G4+ on my 75G mixed reef and I like it. I put a Euro reef on my gf and it works pretty well but I don't like the fact that as the water diminishes in your sump so does the water in the skimmer. My ASM doesn't do that

If i decide to buy the euro reef ...which model should i buy?

Poland, you don't live that far from me. If you like you can come and look at what my euro reef rs80 does for my 155 mixed reef. I have no complaints about it. Only reason I am thinking of upgrading is because it is actually not recommended for my size tank. But it is actually keeping my tank clean thus far. I'm in Far Rockaway, 29 blocks in from the Nassau Exp.

minimum of the vs or rs 135, but for the price id still go with the vertex, as i told you ive owned er's from rs80- cs 8-2 5 or 6 total er's 3 asm's and other skimmers, all in sump skimmers will flux when sump level flux's because of back pressure. the vertex's are built solid, easy to take apart and clean and alot less tubulance in the body then either er or asm. like i told u this is my personal opinion from owning alot of skimmers.

awi, my second fav skimmer i've had and out of all the er's was the rs80

:flower: I love this little skimmer! And it was a gift from an awesome person. I have no problems with it what so ever. Which is why it will be moved to my fowlr if I do end up upgrading.
