 Skimmer question I've had my 150 gal tank set up for about a month now running a small skimmer. It cycled in about 4 days. I need to start looking for a properly sized skimmer to support a reef tank. I was looking at either a ASM G-3 (350 gal) Protein Skimmer or ASM G-4 Plus Protein Skimmer (400 gal). Can anyone comment on these for my tank, would the G-4 be overkill, or is there a better choice skimmer out there for the money? Thanks

| Re: Skimmer question well i think u should get an octopus or a lifereef but the g4 will not be over kill and is probably the best out of those 2 options. |

| Re: Skimmer question the bigger the better. the skimmer is the most important thing one can buy for their tank.

| Re: Skimmer question lifereef- vs24 that is a nice good one but i think u might need to even go bigger than that one. and it is kinda pricey. |
