Asm Vs Mrc Skimmers

[peter1215]

Im looking for a skimmer for my 210 fowlr. Im upgrading from my reef devil and Im considering either an ASM G3 or an MRC2(my reef creations). Can you folks recommend one or give me the pros and cons of these skimmers.
thanks
Peter

MRC2 w/ duel beckett injector will skim a lot more then a g3... only setback is it need a beefy pump which leads to more electric... get the rated panworld on her and your good to go..

Peter...I have used, and still use, both ASM and MRC products. I have always liked the ASM, but a '3' would not be the right size for a 200+ gallon system IMHO. You would minimally need a 4 or 4x. I would use an MRC2R. It is a recirculating skimmer so it requires two pumps. If you are comparinging NON
recirculating MRC skimmers to ASM you will not be disappointed with either.
But if it is ASM..go with a '4'.
