Doc 9020 vs ASM G5 or G6

[MimicTang]

I like the simple design but wonder just how powerful it is?

works like a charm.I have posted pics on the filtration forum

so you think it will compete with a ASM G6? I plan to use it on a breeding setup.

I have seen a g3 in action but not a g6.This skimmer is made for up to 500 gallons.In a heavily stocked tank with many fish and corals 250 gal.I do see that the skimmer works well.I don't know how many fish you will be breeding if is just pairs but then the babies I don't know.I have no experience with that type of setup.You may want to ask Roger

I haven't done such a comparison so I couldn't say.

 

[MimicTang]

need something for a 400gal Grow out

I really am not sure as I just have no experience with that application. The advantage I see above all is that it could be run in a more plankton friendly mode by selecting some degree of recirculation. This would keep your food alive longer.

hehehe plankton. Try breeding 30000 brine a week =)
