Looking to replace my seaclone 150 w/mesh mod with a better skimmer, cosidering these two after doing research. Currently have 90g fowlr lightly stocked right now,will be going in my sump....any body have any good or bad experiences with either one of these skimmers? one better than the other?

what about those msx skimmers i keep hearing about? i'd look into them. the octopus is just a basic design, those msx skimmers are mesh modded and allegedly have better pumps.

I have an Octopus Pro and it's a great skimmer. Pulls out a lot of thick brown stuff and the pump is quiet.

I would say the octo is a much better skimmer, I have heard of pump issues with the msx skimmers but they have supposedly been corrected. I think myself and Mr X are among the few ASM fans left, but I really like my ASM G3.

yeah..ASM skimmers really get a bad rap on this forum. other forums recognize them as decent skimmers. i too, really like the G4X i use on my tank. i was thinking about adding one of those sicce pumps to it to see if it would be a massive upgrade...but otherwise, i'm not changing skimmers any time soon.
it's the same with aqua-c remoras...other forums think they are crap. this forum loves them.
