Excellent Scott! Exactly what I would do. Here's my however. Melanie ASM skimmers are great but don't skimp here Forget about the G1X and maybe the G2. I would recommend you go all the way to a G3. As an alternative you could look at the Octopus NW-150. What you want is a needle wheel skimmer that is rated to handle at least 150 gallons. I personally found this out the hard way (buying a NW-110 for my 110 gallon). The poor skimmer worked like crazy but could never keep up with the demand.
IMO I would recommend either an ASM G3 or an Octopus NW-150. You may want to consider used. Many hobbiests sell there old equipment when they move to larger tanks or quit the hobby.
As a matter of fact I'll be selling my Coralife 65 but trust me, you don't want it. It worked well enough on my 29 gallon but I can't say I'd recommend it on a tank much larger. Pssst... I really didn't like it very much! |
