need advice on skimmer ASM Vs JEBO

[wakeupdrowzy]

i currently have a jebo 520 skimmer i bought for 100, i now have an oportunity to buy a ASM G2 skimmer for $140 with pump,

does the brand of skimmer make big different? is jebo a bad skimmer since it's way cheaper? someone told me that my coral will not do well under jebo skimmer, do u think i should buy the ASM G2 ? is there any major different between those skimmer?

is $140 a good deal for a ASM G2 used ???? is really rated up to 200 gallon?

How does your Jebo perform? Good skimmate? I think the way the thing works is more important than the name or price. Lets face it, lots of things in our hobby are priced way above their reasonable value.

ASM is way better.

ASM is better...140.00 sounds good..Whats the condition?

 

[wakeupdrowzy]

I say go for it. Then put the Mod I have to make it a kick *** skimmer

 

[mnguyen878]

What mod would that be?

Considering the sedra pump would cost you $95.00 I would say $140.00 is a steal. I would buy it just to have around as a spare for that price.

I wouldn't use a G2 on anything larger then a 100gal. But in anycase it will out perform the Jebo anyday of the week. I wouldn't even put them in the same class.

JEBO vs. ASM and the winner is ASM with a 1st round TKO!

If you would have put this in the DIY forum there would be some people backing up the JEBO as some have successfully swaped pump+Recircmodd+Cup Mod. More work but its def. cheaper.

What pump is your ASM coming with? Why so cheap?

Samuel, what kind of mod did you do to your ASM? I have a G2 and it doesn't produce alot of skimmate, but coiuld it be because I don't have many fish? I have some corals, but nothing real big.
