Hey guys I haven't seen much cheaper than the seaclones I use - they make foam day in and day out, 2 of 'em free standing in a 45 gal sump under my 210 seems just fine. Buy good lights first and pumps, then put a fancy named skimmer on your wish list. I will say, that when first designed and hanging on sump they were not as good as they are now free standing in sump. I think it had something to do with the ext. arm connecting maxijet to bottom of tower. Once I left it off and directly attached the PH - and submerged it in sump - Wha'la instant continual foam production and no more fussing with bubbles!
It's just MO.

Hey SWFreak......I have heard from a reliable source that the skim thats removed is great for a high protein gravy on a few slices of bread. Seriously, i used to dump mine down the drain, now I dump it on a few shrubs outside and they have shown some serious growth over the time I have been doing it as compared to what they used to grow like......the salt does not seem to be any problem either.

I have an ASM G2 and I HATE it. It makes so many damn microbubbles and I can't get rid of them. I have talked to ASM directly, done tons of research on my own and they say there is nothing they can do.... Makes me mad, that after spending over 200 bucks on a skimmer that is doesn't work right.

I had the same issue for about 10 minutes. I moved it further from the return pump, and I have the sponge on there return pump, I have no baffles and I have no bubbles.

I second that. I had a SeaClone 100 and was constantly messing with it. Got the Aqua C Remora and it has worked GREAT from day one.

I've got a Turbo Floater Multi and hated it for a long time. It just wouldn't work for me as a hang on. I moved it inside the sump and I begun to work better. I then came across a air intake mod on this site and after the mod I'm extremely happy with the skimmer. Makes good foam and I never have to adjust it any more. Good but not a great skimmer, the air mod is a must!
