(2) ASM g3's or (1) Ocutpus DNW-200 Recirculating for a 180 Bare Bottom?

Lil'help please. I already have one of the ASM G3's. Just wondering if I should use two G3's or just go with one Octupus DNW-200 Recirculating Skimmer. Just looking for some opinions. I understand more is always better for getting rid of the "crap". These are my choices at this moment. Thanks.

FWIW, I ran two G3s on my 180 at one time, and was seeing loss of color due, I believe to over skimming. I went back to the one and things recovered nicely. In fact, I was eventually running a 180 and 120 on a single G3 and things looked great.

i'm running a g3 on my 225g(500g setup) It's not enough I'm emptying the cup every day.

Thanks alot for the replies. I guess it could be overkill as you say Highlander. Do you think the Ocutpus DNW-200 Recirculating will be plenty then. I know there are better skimmers for this size tank, but it comes down to that whole dollar factor. This one appears to be a good bang for the buck skimmer.

i would just run the asm g3 you have now.that would save you the most money!

So the G3 would be sufficient? Don't mind selling it and getting something to do the job better if that's what it takes.
