Aqua C Urchin PRO versus ASM G1 (or G1X) which one? - Aquarium Advice

mardeebo · 05-25-2005, 02:16 PM

This is similar to a post I put over on Getting Started but since you carry both of these, I though perhaps you would have a good comparison.

I am running a reef 72 gallon and would like to know which of the two would be better performers? Which is easier to set up? Clean? Requires less tinkering?

They are comparably priced so I'm not sure which one to go with...

I have a 20gallon sump - no fuge (yet).

Thanks

the ASM G1 will slightly out skim the remora pro. If it were me i would run the G1X which will outskim both the G1 and the urchin pro. You just cannot beat the bubble production of the needle wheel on the ASM.

The ASM is also hte same in design and pump as the euroreef series, only alot cheaper!!
