I owned a ASM G-2 and LOVED it. From my undestanding the Octopus makes a great skimmer that is based off of the ASM, and a little cheaper. Plus from what I hear, it is fairly easy to make modifications like the mesh mod to it also.....look it up on ReefCentral

I have a Reef O ctopus on mine and it works great....all I have to do is unscrew the top...dump it...clean it...and put it back on.

Can't beat a euroreef unless you go with a deltec....jmo

I like my ASM, never have to touch it other than to dump the stinky stuff.

Ya I would have to sell my house to get one..

When you get PS.. Do you over size your tank?

[caferacermike]

I always say, buy big and restrict. That way you can upsize your tank later and still have equipment to run it. Sucks buying something only to find out it's a little smaller than you wanted. You can always restrict something but you can't do it the other way round.

I was thinking about the ASM G-3. And that is rated up to a 250. with is about 100 more than my tank. Or shoudl I get the 4 that would be 250g over my tank. Really dont have a fish load. Just mostly 6 or 7 fish. and sps. Which one would you think I should get.

[caferacermike]

I'd probably stick with the G-3, price could be a factor to help with that kind of choice. If the G-4 is $50-75 more than the G-3, or better yet less than $100 more than the G-2, it might be a "steal". I've noticed with the ASM line that there isn't much of a price difference between 2-3 models and then it jumps up a bit for 2 or 3 more models.

[urban79]

Well I found the G-3 for 260 on one site that has it for sale..
