    Question ASM Mini-G Protein skimmer

    ASM Mini-G Protein skimmer

    Does anyone know if this skimmer would be large enough for 85 gallon system? I have read that they are very good skimmers. I do not have alot of room and my funds are running out. The skimmer I am using now is 12 years old and just isnt getting it done.

    from my experience, they are excellent plug and play skimmers. My G2 has been running great with no problems for over 3 years.

    It says a Mini will go up to 80g, so you would be pushing it for skimming properly. If it would fit I would go with the G-1X HERE or type it in Google and start shopping.

    It is rated for 100g tanks.

    When considering skimmers I generally cut the factory rating in half.

    I am going to go with the Octopus NW-200. It seems to be a good choice.
    I think it will be plenty for my 75 gallon set up.

    Thank You for the info!
