Skimmer Opinion

[Fin McCoul]

I have an opinion related question. I was wondering what recommendations anyone has on a skimmer upgrade. I have a 20 nano with a 5 gallon sump with an Aquaclear diy refugium. I have to say since the refugium was added it has made a tremendous difference in water clarity. I have a pro-clear aquatic 75 skimmer in the sump right now. I am looking to up grade to a better skimmer in the next couple of weeks. I want an in sump skimmer and really am wondering what is going to work out the best for me. I have considered the ASM mini, but would I be better off with a G1 or G1X? Is that more than I need for my size tank? I don't want to spend much more than $200-$250, but I am open to suggestions. Thanks for the help!

i personally would not do the mini
ive heard bad news on the pumps as they are under powered and loud
i would go with the euro rs 80 you can find them sometimes at around 200 new.
marine depot has them for 248 shipped.

however you might have to increase the sump size even on the asm g1 i think your pushing it with your return pump

thier was a guy selling a aqua c remora on here a couple of days ago for 70 that you could put in your sump as well
i think that might be better and thier a nice skimmer as well
