Hi all,
I think I'm coming back in a few months with a FOWLR tank.
My 125 is currently empty, save for sand and rock.
I have an ASM G4 skimmer that sat in the sump (Rubbermaid trough) in the basement.
Never really pleased with it. I didn't think it did a good enough job, though that may have been due to inadequate water flow from display to sump, and varying water level in the sump. The sump's water level fluctuated quite a bit. No baffles in the trough.
My new plan is to have the sump right under the tank. Smaller sump. Much smaller.
What's a good, reasonably priced, protein skimmer that'll work in a small sump under my tank? I think I've got 24" under the display, maybe more. Remember this is for a 125 gal tank. I'd like to spend less than 300 bucks.
If you think I should just go with the ASM G4, let me know.
