Question Protein Skimmer

I have a 75 gallon reef system and need to know what would be the best protein skimmer to handle my 75. I an having a problem with red alge and heard the purchasing a larger protein skimmer can help with the matter.

Thanks Reef75

Hi reef75
You will find that skimmers are a matter of opinion but a very popular design is the needlewheel skimmer and there are a few of them out there. I like Geo's skimmers they can be found @ geosreef.com, or you can go with an ASM model something like a ASM-1 or ASM-2 would work good probably for your tank. Also there are Euroreefs too if you can afford the cashola.

ASM for the money or EuroReef for the quality hands down. Both will do the job.

I have two of the asm models and like them although the newer G4 is more cheaply made than the older G3. The Euro Reef 8-2 runs my 75 gallon reef and I wouldn't have it any other way.
