Yay! i got my 130 but i can't decide on a skimmer i have an ASM on my 50gal and it works great but does any one know of a better skimmer???

Nope! As far as in-sump skimmers go, the ASM is one of the best. I have heard some people bandy about the EuroReef and Octopus though.

i have an ASM G2 with a mesh mod and gatevalve and it seems to be working very well on my 135. it works so much better after the mesh mod.

My vote would be ASM

As much as I love my ASM skimmers I am not sure I would claim they are the BEST.
I do find them to be a great combination of price and quality. There are skimmers out there that are likely better but they cost a lot more.
Meanwhile I have a G1-x on my 90 and a G4+ on my 125 and they both do a great job.

I can only speak for the EuroReef RS 250. It's a fantastic skimmer but it's also on the very expensive side.
