The a MR-2 (My reef creations) or a ASMG3. For a 120 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump
Straight out of the box without any mods.
 
From what I've read, people love both and both are excellent skimmers. Personally, I'd probably go with the ASM.
 
Even considering a G3 with mods, I would still bet on the MRC MR-2 with the appropriate pressure rated pump. There are other companies out there that make beckets that are outstanding performers as well.
 
after doing some basic research, i decided on the mr-2.

if you are concerned about noise and power consumption, then the asm is for you.

since i have a dedicated fish room to silence the equipment and don't really care about power consumption, i chose the mr-2.

i read a quote here from someone who has both a mr-1 and a g3. this guy said that the mr-1 with only a mag-12 (non pressure rated) outperformed his g3. ...and when he upgraded to a pressure rated pump it upped the skimming 30% on top of that.

it was a no brainer for me. dual becket mr-2 w/ pcx-55 pump. i might add the 8" piece, as that is what andy from mrc said would give me the best performance with the pcx-55.
