Default Protein Skimmer

Which of these protein skimmers is better??

-ASM-G3
-AquaC-EV120
-Euroreef-RS100

I have a 55 gallon tank now, but I would like to upgrade to a larger tank (about 120 gallon or less). Thanks!

hum, everyone will give you different input reagrding each skimmer. I would go with either the ASM G3 or the ER-RS100. Both will handle your current tank and future upgrade 125. Here's a review I cut and pasted off MD for the ER-RS100 Comments: This skimmer is the best i've used! I just got an Aqua C EV180, and it almost took out nothing. After constant tech support and tinkering, I gave up on it, and got the Euro. Filled the cup in little over 2 days! I highly recommend this skimmer.

Despite what bb said I love all AquaC brands. He may of gotten a bad egg. If you know what your doing I have had success with the ASM skimmer. I would recommend the AquaC to all newbies. There are very little adjustments. I love them to death. But that is also a fault in most experience aquarist eyes. Its nice to just plug it in and work but If you want to make adjustments to get your skimmer to perform differently I suggest another line of skimmers.

They are all high quality skimmers. Your choice will come down to personal preference.
