ER and ASM are not identical, not even close. Different body, neck, cup, material, pump and support. Nothing is the same. ER is a far better skimmer line.

Second everything he said.


Right now, absolutely no one should be buying an ASM. NO ONE. They are just as expensive as ER, are made of poorer materials, and dont skim nearly as well. There are numerous skimmers that are significantly cheaper than the ASM, and are also made of better materials, and skim better (see Reef Octopus, Aquaeuro, etc).


Buying an ASM right now is like paying Lexus money for a Daewoo.
